Four wagons of a coal-laden goods train Sunday derailed in Chhattisgarh's Janjgir-Champa district, affecting rail traffic on the Korba-Bilaspur route, an official said.
The train was moving from Junadih in Korba to Kumhari in Raipur when four of its wagons derailed at Champa station around 11:40am, a Bilaspur Railway Division official said, adding that no one was hurt in the mishap.
He said teams, led by Bilaspur Divisional Railway Manager R Rajgopal, were at the site to rerail the wagons.
"Some 14 trains were affected due to the derailment. The Gevra-Amritsar Chhattisgarh Express has been delayed by 12 hours and the Korba-Visakhapatnam Link Express by nine hours," he said.
The official said scheduled movement of trains on the route is expected to resume soon.
