Two days after a Kasara-CST local train derailed near Titwala, killing one and injuring 12, railway authorities believe the accident may have been caused due to minor differences in gaps between the two parallel rails of the track.

Initial inquiries have revealed that the gap between the two rails of the track was up to 9 mm less than the prescribed gap. Pic/Prashant Waydande
