Delhi Transport Corporation bus catches fire, no injuries reported

New Delhi: A government bus caught fire in Delhi's Mahipalpur on Wednesday.

No one was injured as the bus was empty at the time of the incident,  

Nine fire tenders were rushed to the spot to extinguish the Delhi Transport Corporation bus fire, Zee News reported citing officials.

It took officials over an hour to contain the blaze which started at around 2:21 pm. The cause behind the blaze is not known yet.

Meanwhile, the BJP accused the Delhi government of corruption over the incident.

Sharing a video of the fire on Twitter, Delhi BJP General Secretary (Org) Siddharthan said people will be "safe from such accidents if the government gets maintenance of DTC buses done on time."

The blaze burnt two shops also  in the area. This happened as the



flames spread due to strong winds.

महिपाल पुर में यह भयानक हादसा साफ़ दर्शाता है, कि केजरीवाल सरकार अगर अपने भ्रष्टाचार का चरम खत्म कर दे और समय से DTC बसों की मेनटेनेंस करवाएँ तो ऐसे भयानक हादसों से दिल्लीवासी सुरक्षित रहेंगे। pic.twitter.com/My5Bn2JcUG
