Passengers on the Hyderabad-Howrah Express experienced a frightening moment when smoke began to fill the train. The incident occurred as the train was en route from Hyderabad to Howrah. The train's vigilant driver promptly halted it near Nekkonda as soon as the smoke was noticed. Witnesses on board the train were understandably alarmed by the sudden appearance of smoke and began to evacuate the train in haste. However, railway officials later determined that the smoke was actually a result of the brake liners heating up, and there was no immediate danger to the passengers.
