Two tunnels are being built in the stretch near NIT Ghat for the metro line in Patna. When the tunnel is excavated, a small debris train runs behind the machine. The machine removes the debris coming out during the excavation and the train takes this debris. A track has been laid inside the tunnel for the debris train. The major accident happened due to the failure of the brakes of this train.
