The train was coming from Delhi…
On Tuesday night, a train coming from Delhi derailed and climbed on a platform at Mathura Junction.
The train was an electrical multiple unit (EMU).
No casualty reported so far, news agency PTI said. A portion of the platform and an electric pole were completely damaged by the train's engine.
Videos posted by several news agencies showed the train's engine near the station name board. The EMU stopped after climbing the platform and hitting the electric pole.
Railway station director SK Srivastava was quoted as saying by the news agency that the train was coming from Shakur Basti.
He further added that all the passengers had de-boarded the train before the accident.
The railways have ordered a high-level probe into the matter.
According to authorities, the train reached Mathura Junction at 10.49 pm on Tuesday.
After all the passengers got down, it rolled down the track and climbed onto platform 2A before coming to a stop after hitting the police.
One woman received an electric shock and was treated for first aid.
A portion of platform 2A was damaged in the incident and movement of trains was restricted from there, but other services are operating normally.
This comes days after a 12-year-old boy prevented a major accident in West Bengal as he waved his red shirt to an approaching passenger train.
