Bilaspur Train Accident 

The derailment comes a month after a tragic accident near Bilaspur station in Chhattisgarh in November which claimed around eleven lives and left several others injured when a local train rammed into a stationary goods train. The impact, which occurred on the Bilaspur–Katni section, caused several coaches to derail and brought rail traffic on the route to a complete halt, as per the reports.

According to officials, a MEMU train coach collided with the goods train at around 4:00 p.m. near Bilaspur station. They confirmed that two people were injured and said that all necessary resources had been deployed to ensure timely medical assistance for the victims.

The force of the crash caused extensive damage to the passenger train, triggering panic among travellers. Eyewitnesses described hearing a loud explosion-like sound, followed by scenes of chaos as passengers tried to escape through twisted metal and scattered debris.
