A minor fire was noted in the engine of the Bidar–Yeshwanthpur train on Thursday evening. But no one was injured.

The train reached Bengaluru on Friday morning, two hours late.

Passengers were made to get down from the train two times between Bidar and Mattalakunta station in Telangana, a passenger said.

Loco drivers and mechanics extinguished the fire and repaired the machine set. It was thoroughly checked at the Zaheerabad station. It reached Yeshwantpur later than usual, railway authorities said. They said they were looking at the issue from all angles.
