Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Panic gripped passengers as sudden smoke erupted in a moving iBu running on the BRTS corridor in Indore on Monday morning. The incident took place between Palasia and Geeta Bhawan Square.

The sudden appearance of smoke caused panic among the passengers, leading some to jump out of the moving bus. One of the female students sitting on the back seat of the bus sustained a leg injury. The driver and conductor promptly informed AICTSL and safely evacuated the passengers one by one. Fortunately, no other injuries were reported.
A mechanic was immediately dispatched to the scene. As the mechanic arrived, he immediately disconnected the cable, and the smoke subsided shortly after. The PRO of AICTSL, Mala Singh Thakur, stated that the smoke was due to a turbo engine failure in the iBus caused by technical reasons. There was no loss of life, and all passengers were quickly transferred to another bus.
