Massive Fire at Varanasi Railway Station Parking Destroys Over 200 Vehicles

A short circuit is suspected to have caused the blaze, which consumed the parking area used primarily by railway employees.

The fire broke out in the early hours of Saturday at the Cantt railway station's parking area in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh.
Over 200 two-wheelers, including motorcycles and scooters, were destroyed, with no injuries reported.
Preliminary investigations point to a short circuit as the cause, with evidence collected for further analysis.
Firefighters, supported by 12 fire engines and police teams, brought the flames under control after a two-hour effort.
Railway employees, many of whom lost their vehicles, are calling for compensation, with unions urging authorities to provide financial relief.
