The train halted, and the injured man was loaded into the guard van and brought down to the Daltonganj railway station.”
“Here, an ambulance was kept ready, and by 1.30 am, this injured man was brought down to the Daltonganj railway station by the Shaktipunj express train and was rushed to the MMCH Daltonganj,” added Umesh Kumar.
