29 passengers escape unhurt after a private bus bursts into flames near Nalgonda district

Bus Catches Fire on Hyderabad-Vijayawada Highway

A major tragedy was averted when a private bus caught fire on the Hyderabad-Vijayawada highway in the early hours of Tuesday. The incident occurred near Pittampally village in Chityala mandal of Telangana&rsquo;s Nalgonda district.
The bus, travelling from Hyderabad to Kandukur, reportedly caught fire after smoke began emerging from the engine. Acting swiftly, the driver stopped the vehicle and alerted the passengers, allowing all 29 people on board to exit safely before the bus was engulfed in flames.
By the time a fire engine arrived to extinguish the blaze, the vehicle was completely gutted. Police teams reached the spot soon after and have begun investigating the cause of the fire.
This marks yet another serious bus-related incident in the Telugu states within three weeks. On November 3, a devastating collision between an RTC bus and a tipper truck in Telangana&rsquo;s Rangareddy district claimed 19 lives. Similar accidents in Andhra Pradesh&rsquo;s Eluru, Sri Sathya Sai, and Kurnool districts have raised serious safety concerns regarding long-distance bus operations.
