Pune: Another Landslide Near Monkey Hill, Rock Stuck In Railway Engine Causing Train To Derail
Lonavala, 23rd August 2022: Another landslide occurred at Monkey Hill on the Mumbai-Pune Railway in the early hours of this morning. The incident took place in km 118/0 mid rd.
In this, a large stone came down and stuck in front of the train engine, causing the train engine to derail. After getting the information about the incident, the railway staff reached the spot at 3.30 am and started the work of repairing the crack. Reportedly, the stone is stuck in the front guard of the train engine. This is the third incident in the past few days.
The intensity of rain has increased in the Ghat areas. This is happening because the stones and soil are falling along with the water from the hilly areas due to rain. As the railway line in the entire area of Monkey Hill is through the mountains, such incidents are happening here frequently.
Since both up and down traffic lines are running here, there is no impact on the railway traffic.
