At least 47 people have died in a fire on a passenger train travelling in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.
One coach of the Tamil Nadu Express travelling to Chennai from New Delhi caught fire early today.
A railway official said the fire is believed to have been caused by a short circuit in the coach.
At least 28 passengers have been taken to hospital with burns.
The fire was noticed by a railway station worker as the train passed through the station.
The train was stopped and the coach that caught fire was detached from the rest of the train to prevent the blaze from spreading.
The fire was reported at Nellore, a town nearly 500km south of Hyderabad, the capital of Andhra Pradesh state.
