Mangalore, Sep 15: A good train was derailed near Hoige Bazaar on the evening of September 15 Friday blocking traffic for several hours.

Many people who were returning home from work were stranded for nearly two hours. Buses plying from Pandeshwar were diverted to Attavar. The traffic police rushed to the spot and tried to clear the block.
