A local commuter train in Chhattisgarh collided with a stationary cargo rake around 4 pm, resulting in 11 confirmed fatalities and at least 20 injuries. Preliminary investigations by the South East Central Railway (SECR) suggest the passenger train passed a signal at danger, leading to the collision. The impact forced the train’s engine and one coach onto the freight wagon’s roof, trapping multiple passengers. Rescue teams reached the site quickly and relief efforts are underway, with the railways announcing financial compensation for victims’ families and the injured.
