Bankura (West Bengal) [India], June 25 : Two goods trains collided at Onda railway station in Bankura. The rail operation on the Kharagpur-Bankura-Adra line has been halted.

The reason for the accident and how both trains collided will be clear only after an investigation, said Dibakar Majhi Safety Officer.

As per the visuals, several wagons and engine of a goods train derailed in the accident.

The incident took place near Chungajan railway station in Golaghat district.
