‘Smoke In Vivek Express Near Odisha’s Berhampur Station Not Due To Fire’

Berhampur: Panic gripped passengers of Dibrugarh-Kanyakumari Vivek Express near Berhampur railway station after they saw smoke billowing from the bottom of a coach.

The train halted for around 15-20 minutes,” the official said, adding that a thorough check will be carried out at Berhampur station.
