Several feared dead as passenger bus bursts into flames on Yamuna Expressway

A passenger bus caught fire on the Yamuna Expressway on Wednesday, with several people feared to have died after being unable to escape the burning vehicle. The blaze broke out while the bus was in motion, triggering immediate panic among those on board.

Heavy smoke rapidly filled the interior, making it extremely difficult for passengers to find their way out. The situation was made worse by overcrowding, with travellers scrambling over one another in a desperate attempt to flee as the flames spread through the vehicle.

Fears grew that a number of passengers had been trapped inside before they could be rescued. The cause of the fire remained unclear, and authorities were working to establish the full scale of casualties.
