Nine passengers were electrocuted and 22 injured when a bus caught fire after coming in to contact with over head power transmission line in Golanthara area Ganjam district in Odhisha on Sunday.

Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik expressed his condolence and announced ex-gratia of Rs 2 lakh each to the next to the kin of the deceased. The CM also announced that free medical treatment would be provided to the injured, an official in the Chief Minister’s Office said.

Injured were admitted to MKCG Medical College and Hospital. Five of the injured were shifted to SCB Medical College and Hospital in Cuttack.

The incident took place near Mandarajpur when the bus was proceeding to Chikarada from Jangalpadu carrying around 40 passengers. The people were on their way to finalise a marriage proposal, Sub Divisional Police Officer (SDPO), Berhampur Sadar, Jayant Kumar Mohapatra said.

The bus caught fire after coming in contact with an 11 KV power transmission line, leading to the casualties. State Transport Minister Padmanabha Behera said, a thorough inquiry will be conducted into the incident and strict action will be taken against the guilty.

Union Petroleum and Steel Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, who belongs to the state, expressed shock over the mishap and prayed for speedy recovery of the injured.

Seeking a thorough probe into the tragedy, Pradhan said, concrete steps must be taken to prevent recurrence of such incidents.

Local people along with the fire service and police personnel swung into action immediately after the accident. Chief Fire Officer (CFO) Sukant Sethi said, the blaze has been extinguished and all those inside the vehicle have been rescued and shifted to a hospital after disconnecting power supply in the transmission line.

Preliminary information suggested that the luggage carrier of the bus came in to contact with the transmission line along the road when the driver tried to give way to a two-wheeler on the narrow path, he said.

The incident will be thoroughly investigated to ascertain the circumstances in which the accident took place, the CFO said.
