For around two hours, the Jasidih-Asansol main line in Jharkhand remained disrupted after the Gonda-Asansol Express collided with a truck near Nawadih railway crossing in Deoghar district on Thursday.
Jasidih station manager Shankar Shailesh said there were no casualties in the train-truck collision, which took place within Jasidih station of Asansol Railway Division in the Eastern Railway zone.
An investigation has been initiated, looking into the reason for the collision between the train and the truck.
"There has been no casualty, and railway traffic returned to normal after two hours," the spokesperson of the Asansol Railway Division informed.
According to railway officials, there was heavy traffic near the Nawadih railway crossing and the Gonda-Asansol Express entered the down line in the absence of a proper signal and dashed against the truck which was stuck there.
"The damaged engine has since been removed from the site. A four-member committee, which has been constituted to probe the incident, will take strict action against anyone found responsible," the spokesperson added.
