Maksi, Madhya Pradesh: A major train accident was narrowly avoided near Maksi railway station on Saturday when a goods train traveling from Ujjain to Guna derailed after a track broke. Several coaches of the train went off the track, splitting the train into two sections. Following the incident, train operations on both sides of the track were temporarily suspended.

According to reports, a rail track near Maksi station in Shajapur district broke while the train was passing over it, causing the train coaches to derail. The sudden derailment split the train into two parts, creating panic among railway authorities.
