The incident occurred around 6:30 am on the roof of a section of the station currently being built. Upon receiving information about the incident, 14 fire brigade vehicles were immediately dispatched to the scene. The fire was brought under control after two hours of effort.

According to an official from the National High-Speed Rail Corporation, “Early this morning, around 6:30 am, a fire was reported at the roof shuttering of a part of the construction site of the Sabarmati Bullet Train station. No injuries or casualties have been reported.”
