Thieves Steal Overhead Electrical Wire, Disrupt Train Services on Gaya-Patna Rail Section
Thieves cut and stole approximately 100 metres of a 25,000-volt overhead electrical wire between Tehta and Jehanabad stations on the Gaya-Patna rail section in Bihar early Thursday, disrupting train services for nearly three hours. Train operations resumed under single-line working during repairs, which were completed by 6:26 am. The Railway Protection Force recovered the stolen wire, and an investigation is ongoing to identify and apprehend the perpetrators. Local reports suggest limited late-night police patrols may have facilitated the theft.
