In the second fire-related incident of the day, a blaze broke out in an under construction ticket window at Mira Road railway station on Tuesday afternoon.
Commuters witnessed a thick cloud of smoke emanating from the ticket window, located on platform 4 of the station, following which they raised an alarm and notified the concerned authorities.
The fire, suspected to have caused due to a short circuit, was brought under control in minutes. Officials said the continuous downpour may have led to the short circuit, although an official confirmation is awaited.
While no one was injured in the mishap, it sparked panic among commuters. Fortunately, no untoward incident took place.
