KOLKATA: Local train services were disrupted for a considerable period at the South Section of the Sealdah division of the East Railways on Monday morning following a major fire at Bagha Jatin Railways station in that section.
However, at the time the report was filed, the local train services had been normalised. There is no report of casualties following the fire that broke out in a temporary shop at the station platform.
The fire broke out at around 6.30 a.m. on Monday at a garments shop at platform number two of Bagha Jatin railway station. Because of the inflammable nature of the item with which the shop was constructed, as well as the items stocked within the shop, the entire shop was engulfed in fire within minutes. And, because of the high wind speed, the fire spread quickly to the adjacent temporary shops constructed on the same platform. The people waiting at the two platforms of the station panicked and rushed out of the station.
