Indore, a major accident was averted on Wednesday afternoon when Malwa Express (12919) going from Mhow-Indore to Vaishnodevi-Katra (Jammu) got stuck. The brakes of its wheels got stuck. Passengers were in panic seeing smoke rising with sparks. However, the smoke was controlled in time. Railway experts say that Indore is only 21 km away from Mhow and the train covers this distance slowly. If the train was at its original speed and the brakes stuck, the coaches could have overturned. Earlier, a similar incident had happened in Sehore 20 days ago.
