A wagon of a stationary goods train caught fire at Rupsa railway station in Odisha's Balasore earlier today, reported PTI.
While the fire was brought under control by the fire brigade, the cause is yet to be known.
This comes only a few days after the tragic Odisha train tragedy that claimed over 270 lives near the Bahanaga Bazar station in Balasore district.
The railways has refocused on checks and balances to ensure the June 2 tragedy does not repeat again. To that end, it has issued a set of missives, including a double-locking arrangement for all its signalling assets and it also issued directions to bolster the protocol for the commencement of train movement after maintenance work.
While the CBI probe into the matter is underway, trains will not be stopping at the Bahanaga station which has been sealed for purposes of the investigation.
