Train Hits Pick-Up Van in Tripura’s Dhalai; Several Feared Dead

A routine Thursday turned grim in Tripura’s Dhalai district after a passenger train rammed into a pick-up van near SK Para Railway Station. Reports said the impact was so severe that the vehicle was left almost completely crushed beside the tracks. Early updates confirm multiple fatalities, though officials are yet to release full details.

This heartbreaking incident comes barely two weeks after a devastating train crash in Chhattisgarh’s Bilaspur, where at least 11 people lost their lives. That accident involved a goods train colliding with a MEMU local train near Bilaspur station, prompting major rescue operations that continued for hours.

Adding to the alarming trend, another accident earlier this month at Uttar Pradesh’s Chunar railway station claimed six lives.

With three serious railway accidents in quick succession, concerns over passenger safety and railway infrastructure are once again in the spotlight. More updates from Tripura are awaited as authorities assess the full extent of the damage and casualties.
