Most people would leave if they witnessed a fire, but a group of people in Uttar Pradesh decided to do the exact opposite. Passengers assisted in pulling the rest of the train away from the flames when a fire broke out in one of the railway coaches. The encounter, which was caught on camera, is currently trending on the internet.
The incident occurred near Meerut’s Daurala railway station, and the train’s engine was rapidly engulfed in flames. According to PTI, a fire broke out in two sections of a passenger train travelling from Saharanpur to Delhi.
Meerut City Railway Station Superintendent R P Sharma told the media, “The train reached the Daurala station at 7.10 am and two coaches had caught fire by that time.”
