Two buses catch fire in Dhaka’s Karwan Bazar and Kurmitola
Updated: 2019–12–07
Two buses have gone up in flames in Dhaka’s Karwan Bazar and Kurmitola, with no immediate report of casualties.
A bus operated by Trust Services Limited suddenly caught fire in Karwan Bazar around 3:15 pm on Saturday. Less than an hour later, a BRTC double-decker was engulfed in a fire near the Kurmitola Hospital.
Firemen later doused the flames in both buses, said Shohag Mahmud, an official at the Fire Service’s control room.
Both the incidents occurred as a result of mechanical defects in the vehicles, he said.
Passengers got off the buses immediately after the fires broke out, according to police.
