However, as soon as this news reached the Railways, they immediately clarified it. South East Central Railway has denied this news from its official Twitter. He has also expressed grief over it being presented in a sensational manner.
Railways said that ‘a video is going viral in some media channels, in which it has been shown that a goods train and MEMU train had come on the same track at Gataura station. It is to be told about that that the Jairamnagar-Bilaspur section of Bilaspur Division of South East Central Railway is an automatic signaling block section. LV board is fixed behind the MEMU train. It means that the MEMU train is ahead and the other train has come to follow and is standing at a duly fixed distance. There is no irregularity in this.
