Though no passenger was hurt in the incident, the schedule of the train got delayed for some time, the official said. Decoupling was found between AC-2 tier and S-1 coaches at around 10.21 am near Balugaon railway station, he said, adding the coaches were re-coupled and the train began its forward journey.

The official said the incident occurred as there was a defect in locking arrangement between the two coaches.
