An overhead electrical (OHE) car that went for electrical track repairs rams a push-pull trolley with a supervisor and 4 gangmen who were on the daily check of the track. It is reported that it happened at a turning in the tunnel where gangmen might be unable to see the head lamp of the OHE car, unable to hear the sound because of electrically operated car and that there are no signals to use walkie-talkies being carried by both parties. Further there is communication gap between these parties and the adjacent station master. The OHE car was going towards Araku and is on downward gradient while the trolley was coming from Tyda. It is lack of understanding as two parties moving in opposite directions on the same track for the assigned jobs.
