Like other days, the train was standing at Tangail railway station on Wednesday night. At around 3:00 pm, the Panchgarh Express train entered the station, hiding the commuter train from view.
At one time the passengers of Panchgarh Express started shouting after seeing fire and smoke coming out of the commuter train.
Railway employees, railway police and Ansar members immediately tried to extinguish the fire. Within a few minutes, firefighters also joined in and brought the fire under control.
