The incident occurred around 11:30 AM and resulted in six passengers being injured. Emergency services promptly arrived at the scene to assist the injured and manage the situation.

The collision happened when the passenger train, en route from Howrah to Mumbai, crashed into the stationary goods train. Initial reports indicate that the goods train was stationary on a track due to maintenance work, which was not adequately signalled to oncoming trains.

Rescue teams worked tirelessly to provide medical assistance to the injured and to evacuate passengers from the affected coaches. The injured were transported to nearby hospitals, and their conditions are reported to be stable.
