Train operations on the busy Jasidih-Madhupur route were thrown into disarray on Thursday following a collision between a truck and a passenger train. The accident took place at the Rohini-Nawadih railway crossing when the Gonda-Asansol Express hit a truck stuck in traffic on the tracks. The incident led to an immediate halt of movements on the Down line, while trains on the Up line were allowed to pass with extreme caution under restricted speed limits. Railway officials were quick to respond, mobilizing resources to clear the wreckage of the rice-filled truck that was blocking the main line. Local residents have long raised concerns regarding the heavy traffic at this particular crossing, which often leads to vehicles being stranded between the gates. Today’s accident has highlighted the urgent need for better traffic management or an overbridge at the location to prevent future incidents.
