You can figure out a train coming towards the platform. But wait, where is it heading? Why is the train running in the reverse direction? A major accident was averted on Wednesday (March 17) when the Purnagiri Jan Shatabdi Express was finally stopped between Banbasa and Khatima in Uttarakhand after it travelled for over 20 kilometers in reverse. The train was on its way to Tanakpur from Delhi when the incident occurred.
