A fire broke out late on Friday night in two air-conditioned coaches of a special train stationed at Hyderabad’s Hyderabad Deccan Railway Station (Nampally). The train was scheduled to depart for Jaipur

. According to railway officials, the blaze erupted in the B5 and B6 AC coaches while the train was parked at the platform. Flames quickly engulfed both coaches, causing extensive damage before emergency teams arrived.
