3 students killed, 4 critical after train collides with school van in Murshidabad

Three students and a local resident were killed when a local train collided with a school van in Murshidabad district, India. The incident occurred around 7am on Friday near the Gobindapur rail gate on the Azimganj–Katwa section. Four other students and the van driver were hospitalized in critical condition. Eyewitnesses claimed that the rail gate remained open after a passing train, allowing the school van and a cyclist to attempt crossing the tracks. The collision caused significant damage, and local residents rescued the victims from the wreckage. Anger was directed toward railway authorities, who are now conducting an investigation into the incident, including examining the absence of the gateman at the time of the collision.
