A fire erupted on the Pallavan Express travelling from Karaikudi to Chennai, prompting a swift evacuation of passengers on October 1. The incident occurred near Chettinad railway station, where a brake binding issue led to smoke billowing from one of the unreserved coaches. Upon receiving reports of the fire, the train was immediately halted, and all passengers were safely disembarked, as videos shared on social media show them exiting amid thick smoke. Fortunately, there were no reports of injuries.  Reportedly, the train faced a one-hour delay while safety protocols were enacted, and the faulty coach was repaired. Following the necessary checks, the Pallavan Express resumed its journey toward Chennai, allowing passengers to continue their travel plans. Tamil Nadu Train Fire: Stationary Compartment Goes Up in Flames at Madurai Railway Station; Six Dead, Cylinder Blast Suspected Behind Blaze (See Pics and Videos).
