In a commendable act of vigilance, troops from the Territorial Army of SpearCorps, Indian Army, averted a potential train disaster in Manipur on July 30, 2024.
The alert soldiers successfully stopped a goods train carrying 21 wagons of rice just short of an area where the tracks had been damaged by a recent landslide.
The timely intervention by the patrol team ensured that the train, which was en route to Khongsang, did not traverse the compromised section of the railway, potentially preventing a severe accident.
This quick response highlights the critical role of the Territorial Army in regional safety and their effectiveness in emergency situations.
The Indian Army and Territorial Army’s proactive approach and commitment to public safety continue to be a cornerstone of their operations, ensuring the well-being of citizens and the security of critical infrastructure such as the Indian Railways in challenging conditions.
