Updated: 2020–03–15
HYDERABAD: An empty bogie of a train was gutted in a fire mishap at the Moula Ali railway station yard on Saturday morning. Though officials are yet to ascertain the cause of the fire, the property damage has been pegged at around Rs 16 lakh.
The fire department received an alert around 10.37am about the fire in the stationary train, which was heading for Bhopal for repairs. “The authorities had stationed the train to send it to Bhopal. The 20-odd coaches were empty, there were no casualties,” Malkajgiri station fire officer Mallesh said. Three fire tenders were pressed into service and it took over two hours to completely douse the fire. “Before the fire could spread to other coaches, it was controlled by the fire-fighters. Only one coach was completely gutted,” the officer said.
A fire official said they did not find any sign of short circuit and they have taken up investigation to find out the cause of the fire.
