Thank God it was goods train and not passenger train. But still, this shows poor maintenance. My brother works in railways and says they're understaffed for maintenance work.

Jharkhand route always has these issues. The tracks are old and need complete overhaul. Vande Bharat trains are good but what about basic safety? 🤔

As someone who travels frequently on this route, this is concerning. The authorities should conduct proper track audits before such accidents become more serious.

At least they're working on restoration quickly. But prevention is better than cure - need to invest more in railway safety measures. #IndianRailwaysNeedsReform

These goods train derailments affect supply chains too. Hope essential commodities transportation isn't delayed because of this. Our local markets already have price hikes.
