Keonjhar: In least 30 passengers narrowly escaped death when the private bus they were riding in caught fire early Saturday morning at Kanjipani Ghat in Odisha's Keonjhar district.
There were no accidents or injuries.
The 'Padhi' bus was travelling from Rourkela to Keonjhar when it caught fire at Kanjipani Ghat around 3 a.m.
When the driver noticed smoke, he acted quickly and, along with the conductor, assisted the passengers in exiting the bus before the fire spread. Even the passengers' luggage was unloaded before the vehicle caught fire.
Passengers boarded other buses.
The entire bus had been gutted by the time firefighters arrived on the scene.
