Despite repeated fire incidents in trains, the Indian Railway is yet to install an automatic fire alarm system in a majority of long-distance services.

26 passengers were charred to death in an AC coach in the Bangalore-Nanded Express today.

Earlier, a fire in the Tamil Nadu Express had claimed 32 lives.

Seven people were burnt to death in November, 2011 when a coach of the Howrah-Dehradun Express train caught fire.

Later, the fire spread to another coach and both the coaches were badly burnt.
