Tarn Taran: A roadways bus parked at the bus stand in Patti, the constituency of Punjab Transport Minister Laljit Singh Bhullar, suddenly caught fire. The bus was completely burnt in a short time. The depot and roadways employees controlled the fire, otherwise there could have been a big loss.
Patti bus depot general manager Dara Singh said that there was no loss of life. The bus had come from Yamunanagar. In the preliminary investigation, a short circuit in the bus is being considered the cause of the fire.
