A tragic incident unfolded at Barauni Junction, where a railway worker, Amar Kumar (35), was crushed to death while uncoupling an engine from a bogie.

The incident has sparked outrage among passengers and workers alike, with calls for accountability and immediate action to improve safety measures. This is just the latest in a string of safety failures in Indian Railways, raising questions about the agency's commitment to ensuring the safety of its workers and passengers.
