The Jamui freight train accident has kept rail services suspended for more than 66 hours on the busy Jhajha–Jasidih section in Bihar. The derailment happened late Saturday night near Telwa Halt when a cement-loaded goods train jumped the tracks. The Jamui freight train accident blocked both lines and stopped train movement on this key route.
Railway engineers and emergency teams rushed to the spot soon after the crash. Crews removed damaged wagons and started repair work on the tracks. Despite continuous efforts, passenger train movement has not returned to normal.
The disruption has forced the railways to cancel several express and passenger trains. Authorities diverted many long-distance services through alternate routes via Dhanbad, Gaya, and Pradhankhunta. Local MEMU and passenger trains faced short terminations, adding to commuter problems.
Passengers stranded at stations complained about long waits and lack of clear updates. Railway officials said safety checks are the top priority before resuming full operations. They added that services will restart only after track repairs and inspections are complete.
Until then, travelers are advised to check train status before starting their journey.
