A fire broke out in the power car of the Ramna commuter train stationed at Parbatipur Railway Junction in Dinajpur around 12:30 a.m. on Sunday night. According to railway sources, the incident occurred while repair work was underway at the meter-gauge wash pit. Sparks from welding during train lighting repair reportedly fell into oil stored inside the compartment, causing the fire to spread rapidly through the generator and power car.

Firefighters from the Parbatipur Fire Service and Civil Defense Station responded promptly with two units and managed to bring the blaze under control after about an hour of effort. Most of the interior of the power car was burned, though no casualties were reported. Railway police, security forces, and officials from various departments assisted in controlling the situation.

The station master confirmed that no investigation committee had yet been formed, while attempts to contact the Lalmonirhat Railway DRM for further details were unsuccessful. The railway authorities have begun assessing the cause and extent of the damage.
