Passenger train catches fire in India's Telangana
Massive flames engulfed at least four coaches of the Secunderabad-bound Falaknuma Express train on Friday in the southern Indian state of Telangana. Local media reported that the fire broke out due to a short circuit, which caused thick smoke to billow out of the four bogies.
No passenger was harmed as Railway officials immediately rushed to the site and evacuated the passengers. The incident happened between Pagidipalli and Bommaipalli in the Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district of the state.
The site is approximately 45 kms away from Hyderabad. The train was immediately stopped by the alert officials, and all of the affected bogies were timely evacuated.
The Falaknuma Express started its journey for Howrah in West Bengal state and was in its last leg of the journey when the incident happened. The cause of the short circuit was not known yet.
