Berhampur: Panic gripped passengers of Secunderabad-Agartala Express after smoke was noticed in a bogie of the train near Berhampur railway station in Odisha on Tuesday.
Several passengers de-boarded the train at Berhampur railway station after smoke was reportedly detected in the B-5 coach, sources said.
According to preliminary reports, some passengers first noticed smoke in the B-5 coach and raised an alarm. Thereafter, several passengers reportedly got down and expressed reluctance to travel in the train even after the smoke was controlled.
East Coast Railway (ECoR) officials said that the minor incident took place due to an electrical issue.
It is reported that a minor electrical issue happened in the coach No. B-5 of Train No. 07030 Secunderabad-Agartala Express near Brahmapur station. The on-duty staff attended immediately and rectified the issue, an ECoR statement said.
Many passengers were in a state of fear as the incident came in the aftermath of the horrific triple train mishap at Bahanaga in Balasore district of the state on June 2 which claimed the lives of at least 278 people and left more than 1000 injured.
