Why was Burmese alphabet used there?

I was interested in Burmese alphabet on front of the locomotive on the picture rather than inauguration itself.
There seems to be 3 languages on the board. The bottom is English, the medium is Indian script, the upper is Burmese alphabet.

It's mysterious that Burmese alphabet is used in Southwestern part of India, which is far from border with Myanmar.
