Two railway coaches carrying tourists ‘’derailed and capsized’’ near Ashokapuram railway station triggering relief and rescue operations to save lives, here on Friday.
However, it was a simulated scenario and the authorities were honing their skills and demonstrating their readiness to handle any emergency.
The mock drill was conducted by the Mysuru Division of South Western Railway in association with the National Disaster Response Force and agencies of the State Government, for testing the efficacy of the Disaster Management Plan.
