Tragedy Strikes in Jaisalmer: 20 Passengers Burnt Alive in Bus Fire
In a horrific incident in Jaisalmer, 20 passengers were reportedly burnt alive and 16 others injured when a bus caught fire, allegedly due to a short circuit, according to police reports. This tragedy raises critical questions about the safety regulations governing public transport and the accountability of authorities in ensuring passenger safety.
