Bombay: Rail traffic resumed on both lines at Nandurbar station in Maharashtra at 12.10 pm on Saturday after services were disrupted for a few hours following a fire in the pantry car of the 12993 Gandhidham-Puri Express.

No passenger was injured in the incident that took place at 10.35 am. Nandurbar is about 450 km from Mumbai.

The fire was noticed in the pantry car of the train bound from Gandhidham in Gujarat to Puri in Odisha as it entered Nandurbar station, the Western Railway (WR) said.
