A tragic incident occurred on the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal Expressway near Tauru in Haryana’s Nuh district today, as a moving bus carrying devotees from a pilgrimage to Mathura and Vrindavan in Uttar Pradesh caught fire. The devastating blaze resulted in the loss of at least nine lives, with over 24 individuals sustaining injuries.

The passengers, hailing from Punjab’s Hoshiyarpur, were on their way to Chandigarh when the fire engulfed the bus, leading to a harrowing ordeal for those on board.

Tragically, six females and three males succumbed to their injuries, while the injured were promptly taken to Nalhar Medical College and Shaheed Hasan Khan Medical College in Nuh for urgent medical attention.

Eyewitnesses recounted the horror that unfolded in the early hours of the morning, with the bus quickly becoming engulfed in flames. A vigilant motorcycle rider spotted the fire and alerted the driver, prompting a swift halt to the vehicle.

Local residents and authorities sprang into action, attempting to extinguish the fire and rescue the trapped individuals. Thanks to their prompt response, the flames were eventually quelled, and the injured were swiftly transported to nearby medical facilities for treatment.

Nuh Deputy Commissioner Dhirendra Khadgata confirmed the tragic toll of the incident, revealing that a forensic investigation would be conducted to determine the cause of the fire. Additionally, a helpline has been set up to assist the families of the victims during this challenging time.

This heartbreaking event serves as a stark reminder of the importance of safety measures on public transport vehicles, and the need for swift emergency response protocols in such crises.
