False alarm

KOLKATA: A false fire alarm at the Jatin Das Park metro rail station here on Saturday led to panic among passengers.

Eyewitnesses said as soon as a Dumdum-bound train reached the station two youths jumped out of it and raised an alarm. As they ran towards the stairs, someone pulled the fire alarm chain. The alarm triggered panic. — UNI
