Two monorail trains collided at a hydropower plant in Uttarakhand, India, injuring at least 109 workers, with most injuries being minor. The accident occurred due to brake failure on one train while transporting workers and materials. Four workers suffered fractures. The site is managed by Tehri Hydro Development Corp, partially owned by NTPC Ltd. Work on the project is set to resume after the tracks were cleared. Hydropower contributes significantly to India's energy capacity, with Uttarakhand hosting multiple plants and ongoing projects.
