Railway passengers in the Bareilly region are facing difficulties due to fires occurring along the tracks. Local reports indicate that the burning of stubble in nearby fields and fires in bushes have led to heavy smoke entering the train coaches, causing discomfort to travelers.
🚨: Anta Railway Update: Kachri Phatak Gate 22 to remain closed for maintenance on April 24-25।
Why are passengers facing trouble?
The primary reason for the inconvenience is the practice of burning crop residue and dry bushes in the fields adjacent to the railway tracks. This creates a thick layer of smoke that fills the train compartments, making it difficult for passengers to breathe comfortably during their journey.
What are the recent fire incidents in Bareilly?
While stubble burning is a recurring issue, other fire incidents have been reported in the region. In November 2025, a fire broke out in a goods train bogie near Bareilly Junction, which caused panic and temporary disruptions. Additionally, in May 2024, an AC unit explosion at the Army Movement Control Office at Bareilly Junction led to chaos among passengers.
