For the first time since its launch in 1999, a lorry slipped and fell off Konkan Railway’s popular Roll On-Roll Off (Ro-Ro) train on Wednesday night between Khed and Ratnagiri stations. No injuries were reported. The incident led to the delay of other passenger trains.

Confirming the incident, Konkan Railway spokesperson Girish Karandikar said, “The place where the mishap took place is on a curve and the lorry was laden with heavy steel plates. No one was injured and the incident did not have any major repercussions on the traffic as it was cleared in two hours. Konkan Railway has also initiated a high-level inquiry into the incident.”
