Keonjhar: At least 30 passengers had a narrow escape after the private bus in which they were travelling caught fire at Kanjipani Ghat in Odisha’s Keonjhar district early Saturday morning.

There were no injuries.

The bus named ‘Padhi’ was on its way from Rourkela to Keonjhar when it caught fire at around 3 am near Kanjipani Ghat.

Noticing smoke, the driver acted swiftly and, along with the conductor, helped the passengers vacate the bus before the fire spread. Even the luggage of passengers was unloaded before the bus went up in flames.

The passengers left in other buses.

By the time fire service personnel reached the spot, the entire bus had been gutted.
