July 2: In the Karnal district of Haryana, at Taraori station, eight cargo containers fell off after a goods train derailed on Tuesday morning, causing disruptions to rail traffic on the Ambala-Delhi route. Many freight train containers drifted off the tracks close to railway tracks, resulting in delays and disturbances. Between 4 and 4.30 am, the goods train in the Karnal region of Haryana collided with an object close to Taraori.

Even though nobody was hurt, the accident occurred on the busiest stretch at approximately 4.30 am, resulting in the cancellation of at least 12 trains and the diversion of another 27. The cargo train was headed to Delhi from Amritsar.
"Two wheels of the goods train came off, and eight coaches got derailed," stated Dinesh Kumar, an officer with the Haryana Police stationed in Karnal. Officials from the railway departments in Delhi, Ambala, and Karnal were there to determine the reason for the mishap.
