At least 46 people have died in a massive fire on a train in Pakistan's Punjab province, police say. The fire broke out after a gas cylinder exploded, destroying three of the train's carriages.

 The gas tank was used by passengers who were cooking breakfast.

"Two cooking stoves exploded. They used oil which fueled the fire," Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, the minister responsible for railways, told Geo television.

Several deaths are said to have occurred when people jumped off the train.
