Passenger buses gutted in Puri
By Express News Service
PURI: A passenger bus was gutted and two others have been broken after a hearth broke out on the municipal bus stand right here on Monday. Just a few individuals current on the spot noticed flames emanating from one of many buses and raised an alarm. Even as locals tried to douse the flame, two different buses caught hearth. The blaze was contained by hearth personnel. But one of many buses was fully gutted.
Joint secretary of Puri Bus Owners’ Association, Krushnachandra Senapati denied reviews that the hearth was triggered as a consequence of a brief circuit in electrical wiring in one of many buses. The buses, which have been saved on the stand for the final 10 months, should not have gas or battery. “The buses were yet to resume service,” he stated, alleging this might be the handiwork of some drug peddlers. A case has been registered by Kumbharpara police and investigation into the matter is on.
