MADHUBANI, May 29 -- A major fire broke out in a general coach of the Jaynagar-Udhna Antyodaya Express (Train No. 22563), a weekly train at Madhubani railway station in Bihar on Thursday early morning, completely gutting one coach and triggering panic at the station. No casualties were reported as the train was empty and stationed on platform number 3 for maintenance work. According to railway officials, the train had been parked at the station when a suspected short circuit sparked the fire in one of the general coaches. Thick black smoke and towering flames were suddenly seen rising from the compartment, prompting station staff and local residents to alert the station master. The fire spread rapidly and engulfed the coach before firefighters could arrive. Fire brigade personnel rushed to the spot and brought the blaze under control after intensive efforts. Though chaos prevailed briefly at the station, no passengers or railway staff suffered injuries in the incident. Samastipur Railway Division DRM Jyoti Prakash Mishra reached Madhubani by a special train to inspect the site and review the situation with railway officials. Taking serious note of the incident, the DRM announced the formation of a high-level inquiry committee to investigate the cause of the fire and examine possible lapses in safety measures. "Officials from all five departments, safety, RPF, electrical, operations, and security, will examine every single aspect of the matter. We have taken into account all the feedback received; we have spoken with the general public, and we have also interacted with our own employees who were present at the site", the DRM said. He added that the Railways was treating the incident with utmost seriousness and would further strengthen safety protocols to prevent such occurrences in the future. According to information, the train was scheduled to depart from Jaynagar at 11.50 pm on Thursday to reach at Udhna at 9.35 am on Saturday.
