A four-wheeler collided with a freight car while crossing the railway line at Rajgram Pathar Shilpan area in Birbhum on Thursday night. The four-wheeler was overturned by the push but the driver and passengers were safe. There is a rail line from Rajgram railway station to Pathar Shilpan area. Regular passenger trains run on this line. No traffic, only freight. There is no rail gate at the railway crossing where the incident took place.

Locals claim that there is no rail gate at that railway crossing for a long time. As a result, there is often a risk of accidents.

Rail's statement:
Railway authorities demand that one should always be careful while crossing the railway line. One should never cross the line when the rail gate is closed.

Important information:
Recently, the Hazarduari Express collided with a four-wheeler stuck at the rail gate between Khardah and Sodpur stations.
No casualties were reported in that incident either. Railway authorities are trying to create more awareness about level crossings.
