Fire destroys railway dormitory
Updated: 2016-03-05-10:03

A fire ravaged the dormitory of the phase-I of the city-based Model Railway Station in the early hours of Friday. The incident left a railway employee injured.

The burnt room had around 300 blankets, pillow covers and other material which all was reduced to ashes. Though the administration believes that the fire could have broken out due to a short circuit, they are yet to find the actual reason of fire. The divisional railway manager has issued directives for the formation of a two-member fact finding committee.

Railway officials said that at 4 am, one of the commuters lodged at room number 110 informed the caretaker Devidas about some noise coming from the caretaker cabin area. The caretaker went for a look and found a fire breaking out from the junction box at the cabin. He immediately raised an alarm and the railway staffers along with government railway police (GRP) and railway protection force (RPF) rushed to the spot. Fire brigade officials soon arrived and doused the flames within 40 minutes.

All of the nine commuters residing in the room were removed safely. One of them suffered injuries on her right hand and back as a piece from the ceiling fell on her, while three other passengers suffered mild asphyxia due to the smoke.

The GRP has registered a case of accidental fire and launched a probe accordingly.
