The death toll in the collision between a passenger train and a goods train near Bilaspur railway station in Chhattisgarh has risen to 11, officials said on Wednesday.

The incident occurred around 4 pm on Tuesday when the MEMU (Mainline Electric Multiple Unit) passenger train was heading to Bilaspur from Gevra in neighbouring Korba district, officials added. The affected line was restored on Wednesday morning.

"Eleven people have lost their lives and 20 others have been injured in the accident," the Railways said in a statement. The railway administration immediately launched relief and rescue operations. The injured were being provided with proper medical treatment at nearby hospitals.

The impact of the collision was so severe that a coach of the passenger train ended up on top of a wagon of the cargo train, officials said. Rescue and restoration work on the affected line was completed by 5.30 am on Wednesday, allowing train movement to resume.
