A fire damaged five private travel buses in a parking yard near Bodrai in Bowrampet, on the outskirts of Hyderabad, Telangana, late on Saturday night, November 14. Three buses were completely gutted and two others suffered extensive damage. No casualties were reported.
The yard falls under the Dundigal police station’s jurisdiction. The fire reportedly started in one vehicle and, because the buses were parked close together, quickly engulfed the rest.
The fire caused alarm among local residents as a petrol bunk stands close to the parking yard.
Residents noticed thick smoke rising from the yard around midnight and alerted the police and fire department. A team from the Jeedimetla fire station reached the spot and brought the blaze under control.
Dundigal police registered a case and began an investigation. A short circuit in one of the buses is suspected to have triggered the fire. Police are also examining whether a fire in a nearby garbage pile spread to the parked buses.
