Naupada: Due to some issues with the brake shoe on Thursday, the AC coach's brake pads on the Puri-Durg Express caught fire near Khariar Road in the Nuapada area, a railway official said.

In a statement, the East Coast Railway stated that smoke was discovered in the train's B3 coach as it arrived at the Khariar Road station on Thursday night at 22:07 (which is 10:07 p.m.).
