The coupling of the Odisha-bound Nandan Kanan Express broke in Uttar Pradesh’s Chandauli on Monday, splitting the train into two parts and triggering panic among passengers. The coupling is a chain and hook mechanism to attach two coaches or wagons of a train.<\/p>\n
No one was hurt in the incident, which took place near the Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya (DDU) Junction. The train, which was already delayed by more than 3 hours, was headed to Puri from Delhi.<\/p>\n

The two coaches – S4 and S5 – were then brought to the DDU Junction, and the passengers were shifted to another coach.<\/p>\n
“We thought that some big incident had happened. Luckily the speed of the train was slow so no one was hurt,” a passenger said.<\/p>\n
The issue was fixed after more than four hours.<\/p>\n
Last year, a railway employee died after being crushed between a train’s engine and a coach while uncoupling the train at Barauni Junction in Bihar. The incident on November 9 occurred due to “miscommunication” between railway staff, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw had said.
