This incident highlights major negligence on the part of the Carriage Department. The coach door was left open, and station cameras captured people getting on and off the train, while the coach's camera was switched off. The burning compartment was detached, and a new compartment was added before the train departed for Amritsar. The Chhattisgarh Express was parked on platform 2 after being cleaned at the coaching depot late at night. The train was scheduled to depart as the Bilaspur-Korba passenger at 7:30 am. However, around 5:50 am, stall vendors noticed smoke coming from the M-1 Economy AC coach and informed the station master. Flames were seen between berth numbers 40 and 48. The station master summoned a fire extinguisher and broke the coach window from the outside to extinguish the fire. The fire was extinguished from the inside as well to prevent it from spreading to other berths or the rack. After the fire was brought under control, the compartment was cut off and moved to the yard near the RRI cabin. The remaining compartments were reattached to the remaining half of the train. The compartment that caught fire was the 10th from the engine, located in the middle of the train. The bedrolls kept on the berths in the compartment were also burnt.

Coach ka darwaza khula tha aur station ke camera mein kuch log chadhte utarte dikhe, lekin coach ka camera band tha. Jis compartment mein aag lagi thi use kaat kar alag kiya gaya aur Amritsar ke liye jaane se pehle ek dusra compartment laga diya gaya. Chhattisgarh Express ko raat mein coaching depot se safai karke platform 2 pe rakha gaya tha. Subah 7:30 baje yeh train Bilaspur-Korba passenger banke chalni thi. Lekin subah 5:50 baje ke kareeb stall ke vendors ne M-1 Economy AC coach se dhuaan uthta dekha aur station master ko bataya. Berth number 40-48 ke beech aag ki lapaton dikhne lagi. Station master ne fire extinguisher mangvaya aur bahar se coach ki khidki ka kaanch todkar aag bujhayi. Fir andar jaakar bhi aag bujhayi gayi, taaki dusre berths ya rack par aag na phail jaaye. Aag par kaabu pane ke baad compartment ko kaat kar alag kiya gaya aur engine laga kar use yard mein RRI cabin ke pass laakar khadi kiya gaya. Baki compartments ko waapis laakar aadhe rack ke saath jod diya gaya. Jis compartment mein aag lagi thi woh rack ke beechon beech engine se 10th number ka hai.
