Thrissur: A bus transporting Sabarimala pilgrims from Edappadi in Salem caught fire near a petrol pump in Guruvayur. The incident occurred shortly after the bus descended from the Guruvayur railway flyover. With 50 passengers on board, including children, the bus unexpectedly turned off near the petrol pump, leading to a sudden blaze from the front side.
Quick responses from locals and petrol pump staff successfully extinguished the flames. The bus, equipped with two gas cylinders for cooking, reportedly suffered a short circuit from the self motor, as stated by the bus driver. No casualties were reported in the incident.
