Yeh bohot afsosnak khabar hai. Shukar hai ke bachon ki janain mehfooz hain. It makes you wonder about the safety and maintenance standards for school transport, especially regarding fire hazards.

  A very worrying incident. I’m glad the children are reported to be stable. It brings up the question of vehicle fitness certification. Are these vans regularly inspected for both mechanical and electrical safety, or is it just a formality?
