A major disaster was averted early Sunday when an empty LPG cylinder was found on the railway tracks near Roorkee, Uttarakhand. Discovered by the loco pilot of a goods train at 6:35 am, the alert prevented a potential derailment. Northern Railway’s CPRO, Himanshu Upadhyay, confirmed the cylinder was empty and has since been secured by the Station Master at Dhandhera.
