Around 7:30 a.m. today (18th), a fire broke out from an electricity supply device above the train that was stopping at the reception line.

Fire authorities dispatched put out all the fires in 20 minutes, and fortunately, no one was injured.

However, in the aftermath of the fire, all 600 passengers on the accident train got off and evacuated from the station,
