At least six people have been feared dead and several others injured after a passenger train collided with a stationary goods train in Chhattisgarh’s Bilaspur district on November 4, 2025. The incident took place on the Bilaspur-Katni section, when the Korba passenger train rammed into the rear of a freight train near the Lal Khadan area. The force of the impact was so severe that multiple coaches derailed and climbed over each other, creating panic among the passengers and locals nearby. The collision also caused significant damage to the overhead wires and signalling systems, leading to widespread disruptions in train services along the route. Initial investigations suggest that the MEMU local train overshot a signal and crashed into the stationary goods train. Railway rescue teams, along with RPF personnel and local police, rushed to the scene to initiate relief and evacuation efforts. Emergency medical teams have been working to treat the injured, while senior railway officials have arrived to oversee operations. Several trains have been cancelled or diverted due to the ongoing disruption.
