A fire broke out at Ahmedabad’s Vastral bus depot, catching fire to three electric buses. These buses, part of the Ahmedabad Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS), were being charged when the fire started in one bus and spread quickly to two others and their charging units. Thankfully, there were no injuries or casualties reported, but the buses and charging equipment suffered significant damage due to the intense blaze.
The fire caused extensive damage, rendering the electric buses and their charging infrastructure unusable. Authorities from the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation are investigating the cause of the fire to determine whether it was caused by a technical issue or other factors.
