· India · NDTV
A survivor of the Noida bus fire recounts how passengers were asleep when someone shouted 'get out quickly' on the Bihar-registered bus travelling from Delhi to Mahoba. The warning allowed at least some passengers to evacuate before the fire spread. The exact number of casualties and the cause of the fire have not been confirmed in the report. The incident has raised fresh concerns about safety on interstate buses and overnight travel regulations.

Passengers on long-distance Bihar- and Uttar Pradesh-registered buses face ongoing safety risks from fires and poor emergency protocols. The survivor's account intensifies pressure on authorities to enforce mandatory safety measures such as fire extinguishers, emergency exits, and sleeping-occupancy bans on state-run and private buses.
