A coal-laden freight train was stirred up at Paharpur railway station in Gaya-Koderma railway block. Seeing the smoke rising from the 20th bogie of the train, the driver immediately stopped the train and informed the station master. The railway administration became active as soon as the incident was reported and the fire brigade was immediately called on the spot. The railwaymen started an attempt to control the fire by splashing water, but the fire could not be completely extinguished until the news was written.
