    South Central Railway (SCR) and the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) recently conducted a joint mock drill at Bolarum railway station to simulate a train accident.

    During the drill, fifteen passengers were trapped inside train coaches due to an unusual incident. Upon receiving the alert, the Accident Relief Train (ART) Team quickly responded. At the same time, the Railway Emergency Control Room informed the NDRF Team, which arrived promptly to assist in the rescue operation.

    Using specialized equipment, both the Railway and NDRF teams worked together to safely rescue the trapped passengers. The exercise aimed to test the emergency response and coordination between different teams in handling railway accidents.

These tools were used to cut window rods and coach bodies, helping in the smooth evacuation of injured passengers.
