Bihar Train Fire: Massive Blaze Breaks Out In Passenger Coach At Sasaram A Day After Rajdhani Incident
Panic gripped passengers after a major fire broke out in a coach of the Patna Fast Passenger train at Sasaram railway station in Bihar, just a day after a separate fire incident involving the Rajdhani Express raised safety concerns.
According to initial reports, flames were seen emerging from one of the passenger coaches, prompting immediate evacuation efforts by railway staff and local authorities. Thick smoke quickly spread across the platform area as emergency teams rushed to control the blaze.
Officials said no major injuries or casualties were immediately reported, though several passengers were left frightened following the incident. Firefighters and railway personnel worked swiftly to prevent the flames from spreading to nearby coaches.
The cause of the fire is yet to be officially confirmed, and an investigation has been launched to determine whether the blaze was triggered by a technical fault, electrical issue or another reason.
The incident comes only a day after a fire-related scare involving the Rajdhani Express, intensifying concerns over railway safety and maintenance standards. Authorities have assured that a detailed inquiry will be conducted and necessary action taken based on the findings.
Train services in the area were briefly affected as officials carried out emergency operations and safety inspections at the station.
