A major tragedy was averted this morning when an alert lineman detected breach in the railway track between Kankaha and Mohanlalganj railway stations of the state capital.
The lineman on routine checking found the track cut at two places and promptly informed the higher officials, an RPF spokesman said.
Senior Railway and police officials reached the spot and the repair work was carried out, the spokesman said, adding that the train services on the Lucknow-Rae Bareli route of Northern Railway were disrupted for some time.
Earlier in October too, an attempt of this kind was made.
The spokesman said that investigations were underway to identify those behind the incident.
Patrolling has been intensified and a case is also being lodged, he added.
