A section of top soil at an under-construction railway tunnel near Adenigarh, Odisha, caved in on the Khurda Road-Bolangir line, officials reported Monday.
No injuries were reported in what the East Coast Railway (ECoR) described as a minor cave-in at Tunnel No. 4, caused by loose soil and steady rain.
Despite the incident, ECoR confirmed that safety measures remain robust and construction progresses as planned on the 4,185-meter tunnel linking Adenigarh and Charichhak stations.
