What’s inside:
A train fire incident in Bihar was quickly managed, preventing a major accident and ensuring passenger safety.
In Bihar, a serious train incident was avoided early Monday morning when a fire broke out in the wheel of the B-7 AC three-tier coach of the Clone Special train, which was traveling from New Delhi to Darbhanga. This happened near Daudpur railway station in the Saran district during the busy election period.
As the train reached Daudpur station, smoke and sparks were seen coming from the affected wheel. The gateman and other railway staff quickly alerted the station master, who acted fast by stopping the train at 7:42 am to prevent any further danger.
Once the train stopped, railway workers used fire extinguishers and water to control the fire. Although there was a brief moment of panic among passengers, everyone was safely evacuated with the help of local people. After about half an hour of effort, the fire was completely extinguished.
