Bus hits high-tension wire in Jaipur '3 death, 12 injured'

Three people from Uttar Pradesh died and ten others were injured after a bus came into contact with a high-tension power line in the Manoharpur area of Shahpura, Jaipur district, on Tuesday.

According to preliminary reports, the bus was carrying labourers to a brick kiln in Todi village when it inadvertently touched the overhead high-tension wire.



The impact caused the bus to catch fire, and several gas cylinders stored inside exploded, worsening the blaze.

Locals rushed to the spot and helped rescue the passengers trapped inside. Five critically injured victims were referred to Jaipur’s Sawai Man Singh (SMS) Hospital, while others are receiving treatment at the Shahpura Sub-District Hospital.
