It was a miraculous escape for the passengers when the Mumbai-bound Pawan express ran 10 km with a broken wheel in Bihar’s Muzaffarpur district, sources said on Monday.
The incident occurred on the Muzaffarpur-Hajipur rail section at Bhagwanpur rail late on Sunday night.
According to the passengers, as soon as the train departed from Muzaffarpur railway station, they heard a loud noise in the S-11 coach. When the speeding train reached Bhagwanpur railway station no efforts were made to identify the problem.
