A big fire started at a clothing shop on a train platform in West Bengal.
The fire spread quickly because of the wind and the flammable items in the shop.
Many people were scared and left the station.
Firefighters came and put out the fire after about an hour.
No one was hurt, but the shop and its items were completely destroyed.
The fire caused train services to stop for a while, but they started again after the fire was under control.
The reason for the fire is not known yet, and the authorities are investigating.
A major fire broke out at a garments shop on platform number two of Bagha Jatin railway station at 6:30 a.m. on Monday.
