Shivamogga: Coaches of Talaguppa–Mysuru passenger train detach on bridge
Shivamogga: Several coaches of the Talaguppa–Mysuru passenger train became detached while crossing a bridge, near Hole bus stop here on Wednesday.
According to initial reports, the coupling between some coaches loosened, causing a few to halt atop the bridge, while the rest of the train came to a stop near the Malleshwara railway crossing. The sudden detachment caused panic among passengers and local residents.
Fortunately, as the train was moving at a slow speed, no injuries or casualties were reported. The loco pilot promptly noticed the separation and brought the train to an immediate halt. Railway personnel quickly arrived at the scene and began work to re-couple the coaches.
The incident drew a crowd of curious onlookers, prompting police to intervene and disperse them for safety reasons.
After an hour-long operation, the railway staff successfully reconnected the detached coaches. The train then resumed its journey towards Mysuru.

Niqab incident: Nitish Kumar perhaps revealing his true colours, says J-K CM
Srinagar (PTI): Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday criticised his Bihar counterpart over the niqab incident and said that Nitish Kumar might be slowly revealing his true nature.
"Nitish Kumar, who was once considered a secular leader, may be slowly showing his true colours," Abdullah told reporters here on the sidelines of a function.
Abdullah said Kumar removing the face veil of a Muslim woman doctor was wrong and cannot be justified by any means.
"We have seen this kind of incident here several years ago. Have you forgotten how Mehbooba Mufti removed the burqa of a legitimate voter inside a polling station? That act was wrong, and this act (of Kumar) is also wrong.
"If the (Bihar) chief minister did not want to hand over the order to her (Muslim woman), they could have kept her aside. However, to humiliate her like this is totally wrong," the Jammu and Kashmir chief minister said.
Kumar stirred a huge controversy after he removed the face veil of a Muslim woman at a function earlier this week.
