A Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) electric bus was destroyed by a fire near the Shastri Park underpass in northeast Delhi on Wednesday night, according to India Today.
The bus was passing the underpass when it suddenly caught fire. The driver stopped the vehicle and alerted the fire department after noticing the flames.
Two fire tenders were sent to the spot to douse the blaze. While firefighters managed to bring the fire under control, the vehicle was completely gutted.
No passengers were on board at the time of the incident, and no casualties or injuries have been reported. A report by Jagran – New Delhi, cited by Urban Acres, suggested a short circuit as a possible cause, though the cause has not been conclusively established.
The exact reason for the fire is yet to be ascertained. Officials said the cause would become clear after an investigation by the fire department and transport authorities.
