In an unusual scene in northern India’s Bihar, passengers pushed a train to separate its coaches following a minor fire outbreak.

The incident took place at Ki Junction station in Lakhisarai on June 6.

Visuals showed at the platform, a train stood on the tracks with one of its coaches engulfed in a fierce fire. The flames were intense and spreading rapidly.

This brave effort involved many individuals, who acted quickly and decisively. The scene was chaotic, with a sense of panic in the air as the fire raged and people scrambled to ensure safety.
