A Bolero vehicle belonging to the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) collided with a goods train engine within the super-critical unit area of the Suratgarh Super Thermal Power Plant. The accident occurred on Friday evening. Though the Bolero vehicle was damaged in the collision, no casualties were reported.
A video of the incident has surfaced on social media showing the CISF personnel's Bolero vehicle stalled on the railway track. According to reports, upon seeing the approaching freight train, one security personnel immediately exited the vehicle while others remained trapped inside. The coal train struck the stationary Bolero and dragged it a considerable distance along the tracks.
According to reports, a coal-laden freight train was entering the thermal project when the CISF Bolero attempted to cross an unmanned railway crossing within the plant premises. The slow speed of the freight train and the driver's application of brakes helped bring the power engine to a halt after the collision.
It was reported that a CISF sub-inspector, jawans, and a driver were traveling in the Bolero. Fortunately, none of the occupants sustained injuries in the accident. The Bolero, which became stuck on the railway tracks, was later removed using a hydraulic crane to clear the tracks. The CISF officers and personnel were reportedly on a routine patrol when the accident occurred.
