Big accident averted
Hisar Express and Rayalaseema Express trains were standing parallel to each other. In such a situation, when the fire broke out, the coaches of both trains were jealous. The Vande Bharat train was coming on the adjacent track, but it was stopped in time. The big accident was averted. Hisar and Rayalaseema Express were vacant at the time of the accident. There was no harm due to this. However, Vande India could have a big accident when the train was hit by the fire.
Fire extinguished in one hour
On receiving information about the fire, the fire party and relief rescuers reached the spot. However, the fire had spread so much that it took an hour to extinguish it. After extinguishing the fire, the work is being done to remove the burnt rail compartments standing on the railway track. The cause of the fire has not been revealed yet. Officers are investigating the entire incident.
Diesel engine increased challenge
Railway officials said the train that was victim of the accident was running on diesel engine. Because of this, the challenge for the fire party was big. However, the fire was controlled in time and railway employees had already separated the burning coaches from the rest of the train. Due to the fire, people were evacuated from nearby areas as a precaution. Meanwhile, railway traffic between Chennai and other areas has been affected due to the fire. Southern Railway has announced to cancel eight trains from Chennai and change the route of five others.
