Train drama in India: Four dead after serious accident near Bilaspur!
A tragic train accident has shocked India again. In the early afternoon of November 5, 2025, a collision occurred between Gatora and Bilaspur, which claimed four lives and left many injured. Deputy Prime Minister Arun Sao confirmed that several carriages of the passenger train were badly damaged. The Indian Railways has already announced that the cause of the accident will be thoroughly investigated. This information was also picked up by Vietnam.vn's reporting, which impressively documented the extent of the damage with images of the completely destroyed first wagon, which was on the last wagon of a freight train.
Rescue workers and police immediately rushed to the scene of the accident to search for survivors. The condition of the injured is currently unclear, but the tragedy has once again highlighted the dangerous situation on India's railway network, the fourth largest in the world. Despite ongoing $30 billion modernization efforts - which also include new stations and high-speed trains - the frequency of train accidents remains a serious problem in India.
A look at the past
The sad reality of Indian railway history is marked by numerous accidents. From the records on Wikipedia we learn that fatal accidents like the one in Firozabad in 1981, in which 335 people died, or the most recent one in Bahanaga, where 288 people lost their lives, are not just isolated cases. The Ludhiana train accident in 1907, in which 21 people died, shows that this issue is deeply rooted in the country's history. Wikipedia lists many tragic incidents that have shaped the image of Indian railways over the years and raise questions about safety.
In light of the recent tragedy, it is hoped that the upcoming modernization measures will significantly improve not only the speed but also the safety of trains in India. A bleak outlook remains as many hope that such accidents will be a thing of the past.
With this latest incident, the Indian Railways has once again drawn attention to the challenges faced by the mode of transport. Even if money is made available for modernization, the question remains: How much is necessary to ensure passenger safety? The fate of the survivors and those affected is a clear call for action.
