UDHAMPUR, June 1: A minor fire broke out in a stranded rail coach at Udhampur Railway Station, early this morning.
However, no major loss was caused as the fire was minor and immediately controlled by the people there.
According to Railway officials, the fire erupted in a coach that was to be transported to Srinagar. It was kept in the rail yard and since the entire coach could not be accommodated on the transport vehicle, it was being dismantled. The fiber of the coach caught fire due to overheating.
Last Sunday three coaches of Shalimar Express and two coaches of Jammu Tawi-Ahmedabad Express were gutted down at the Jammu Tawi Railway Station.
A Special Investigating Team (SIT) was later constituted to probe the incident.
