A serious train accident occurred in Sahibganj, Jharkhand, when two goods trains collided, leading to a fire that engulfed two engines. Three people, including the loco pilots, tragically lost their lives in the blaze. The incident, which occurred at 3:30 AM, also left three CISF jawans injured. The collision happened when a goods train traveling from Farakka to Lalmatia crashed into another goods train stationed at Barhet. Firefighters worked hard to control the blaze.
