A massive fire that broke out in a moving AC bus in Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan on Tuesday afternoon took a horrifying form. More than 20 passengers have died so far in the accident. Many people were burnt alive in the bus itself, while some somehow saved their lives by breaking the windows. It is being told that after the fire, the gate of the bus itself was locked, due to which people did not get a chance to get out.

Hanuman Beniwal raised questions
Putting the government in the dock, Nagaur MP Hanuman Beniwal has said in his post shared on Whereas in Jaisalmer there were also army helicopters. He said that after talking to the Center and military officers, you would have immediately brought the burnt civilians to Jodhpur or Jaipur by air so that their treatment could have started on time. This makes it clear that Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma has become insensitive and along with him, the state president of the ruling party has also become insensitive, who did not even feel the pain of the burnt citizens in time.
