The train accident in Bilaspur district of Chhattisgarh caused great pain to many people during a short journey. The journey turned into a nightmare for the passengers injured in this accident. Passenger Sanjeev Vishwakarma (35), aboard the Gevra Road-Bilaspur MEMU local train, which travels about 90 kilometers, was looking at his phone while some passengers were talking when the train collided with a goods train near Gatora station at around 4 pm. The collision was so terrible that the first coach of the MEMU train was completely damaged and there was chaos in the other coaches.

In this accident on Howrah-Mumbai railway line, 11 people including the motorman (driver of MEMU) died and 14 passengers including the female assistant motorman were injured. Sanjeev Vishwakarma, a resident of Bilha (Bilaspur), returning from his in-laws house in Akaltara, said, “I was sitting in the first bogie, where there were about 16-17 passengers – men, women and children. Suddenly, about 500 meters ahead of Gatora, the train shook violently and collided with something. Then there was darkness in front of me for some time.

He further said, “When I opened my eyes, I found myself trapped under the seat. People were screaming for help. My bogie had climbed onto the coaches of the goods train. There were dead bodies in front of me. Three people including a woman had died. Many bodies were in mutilated condition.

My foot got stuck – Passenger
Raipur resident Mohan Sharma, associated with marketing business, told that he had caught the train from Champa station. He said, “I was going to travel by Link Express to Raipur, but the train was late, so I took this local train. Later I thought that after reaching Bilaspur quickly, I would go to Raipur by another train.” He said, ”I was looking at the mobile, then there was a strong shock and I fell on the floor. When I looked outside, I saw that the first bogie of the goods train was on board. My leg was stuck, the railway staff took it out with great difficulty.” Sharma said, “If the speed of the train had been even a little less, perhaps so many people would not have died.”

Statement of student Mehbish Parveen
Mehbish Parveen (19), a BSc (Mathematics) student at DP Vipra College, Bilaspur, said, “I was also in the first bogie. Just as she was about to reach home, the accident happened. My leg is broken. Can’t forget those screams – everyone was screaming for help.

7 people lost their lives in a horrific train accident on Tuesday (November 4, 2025) in Bilaspur district of Chhattisgarh. In this accident, a passenger train hit the rear of a goods train standing on the track. After the collision, the front part of the passenger train ran over the goods train.

So far, a total of 7 people have been confirmed dead in the horrific train accident in Bilaspur, while 14 others are injured. However, how this accident happened is a big question. Railway Board has issued a statement regarding this. The board says that perhaps the passenger train had crossed the red signal. Apart from this, a high level inquiry committee has been formed by the Railways regarding this horrific accident.

What did railway officials say about the accident,

According to the report of news agency PTI, a statement has been issued by the Indian Railway Board regarding this accident. According to the initial investigation of the accident, Railway officials have said that it seems that the cause of the accident is crossing the red signal of the DEMU (Diesel Electric Multiple Unit) passenger train. This means that the loco pilot of the passenger train may have ignored the red signal, due to which this major accident occurred.

The accident will be investigated at the level of Railway Safety Commissioner.

Railway officials said that the accident happened because both the trains had come on the same track. Now the question is how did both the trains reach the same track? Either the reason behind this might have been ignoring the signal or there might have been a technical problem in the route diversion or a malfunction in the signaling system. At the same time, the real reason behind this collision will be known only after the report of the investigation committee comes out. The Railway Board said in an official statement that a detailed investigation into this incident will be conducted at the level of Commissioner of Railway Safety (CRS). So that the real reasons behind the accident can be clarified.

Shah, while addressing the program of Bastar Dussehra Lokotsav, 2025 and Swadeshi Mela held at Lalbagh Parade Ground in Jagdalpur, once again reiterated the resolve to eliminate Naxalism from the country till 31 March, 2026.

He said that on the strength of weapons, security forces will give a befitting reply to those who disturb the peace of Bastar. Addressing the people of Bastar region, Shah said, ‘I want to tell all tribal brothers and sisters to explain to the youth of your village to lay off. Put that arms, come to the mainstream and participate in the development of Bastar.

State and central government dedicated to the development of every Naxal-affected region- Shah

Union Home Minister Amit Shah said, ‘Some people talk about talks, I make it clear once again, both our governments- Chhattisgarh and Central Government- are dedicated to the development of every region- Bastar and Naxal-affected every region, what to talk, we have made a very seductive surrender policy, let us give up. If you worked to disintegrate the peace of Bastar on the strength of weapon, then our armed forces will answer it. The date of March 31, 2026 is decided to bid farewell to Naxalism from the land of this country.

Naxalism is the biggest obstacle for development of Bastar- Shah

He said, ‘Some people in Delhi spread confusion for years that the birth of Naxalism is a fight for development, but I have come to tell the tribal brothers that the whole of Bastar was bereft of development, development has not reached you, its root cause is Naxalism. Today, every village of the country has been provided with electricity, drinking water, road, toilets in every house, health insurance up to five lakh rupees, five kg free rice and your paddy to 3100 rupees (per quintal). But Bastar is left behind.

More than 500 people put weapons in a month- Shah

He said, ‘I have also come to appeal to all of you that children who are misled by misleading, are from your village, explain to them to put weapons and come in the mainstream. The Chhattisgarh government has formulated the best surrender policy in India. More than 500 people have given up arms in a single month. All people should give up arms. As soon as your village is Naxalite free, the Chhattisgarh government will give you one crore rupees for the development of the village. No one will benefit from Naxalism.

What did Union Home Minister say on organizing indigenous fair,

During this time, Shah requested everyone to adopt indigenous items and said, ‘Today, Swadeshi Jagran Manch has also organized Swadeshi fair here.

Now Modi ji has told everyone that in every house, it has to be resolved that only things made in the country will be used in my house.

He said, ‘Every businessman has to take a pledge that nothing made from abroad will be available in my shop, inside my shopping mall. Today I have come to tell that if the population of 140 crores imbibes Swadeshi’s resolve, then no one will be able to stop our India from becoming the highest economic system in the world.

The Center launched a lot of schemes for the upliftment of tribals- Shah

Shah said, ‘PM Modi has given great relief to mother and sisters across the country by reducing taxes (GST) in 395 items. Only five percent of GST has been kept in daily use things. The Union Home Minister also informed about the work being done by the Central Government for the upliftment of tribals.

He said, ‘The BJP government has started a lot of schemes in honor of the tribals. The biggest thing is that for the first time our leader Narendra Modi has done the work of putting tribal’s daughter, sister Draupadi Murmu for the first time. When His Majesty Draupadi Murmu ji meets the heads of state around the world, then not only the tribal society but our heart is filled with pride.

He said that Prime Minister Modi worked to celebrate the 150 birth anniversary of Lord Birsa Munda as a tribe pride. Shah said, ‘Our Narendra Modi has done more than the families of Naxalites who surrender in seven districts of Bastar division and those who have been killed in Naxalite violence, our Narendra Modi has done more than 15,000 Prime Minister’s houses fixed for their families.’
