The Journey
The incident goes back to the year 2008 when all the members of my family were returning after
worshipping the shrine of Jwala Devi, in Himachal Pradesh. We were accompanied by two other families from neighborhood. The Kangra Express started well in time from New Delhi. Everything was in high spirit. All were happy to have a decent trip. In the way we enjoyed with songs tit-bits and other assuming material.
It was about 11:30 am when the train passed Chandigarh. Suddenly the train stopped with a rapid jerk Many passengers fell from their berths. There mere wailings, cries and stampede everywhere.  The passengers were jumping from the compartment to save themselves. All were in a very odd and tantalising situation. There was no alternative left with the people. We too got down from the train and come in the open. On having a close look at the train, we observed that eight bogies were derailed with their wheels in the concrete and the small pebbles. On further enquiry it was found that the track was damaged. Near about one full length of the rail measu ring seven metres was not there.
All left the place. Ambulance and police arrived in no time. The railway officials and the nearby villagers came running to help the passengers. It was a heart-rending scene. Small children along with their mothers were weeping bitterly. But God be thanked that there was no loss of life! A few passengers got slight injuries otherwise all were okay. When ever I enjoy a long jou rney, I immediately think of journey by Kangra Express.
