Phalodi Bus Accident: 18 Killed, Several Others Injured After Bus Rams Parked Trailer in Rajasthan, CM Bhajan Lal Sharma Expresses Grief

At least 18 devotees were killed and three others injured when a passenger bus rammed into a parked trailer in Rajasthan’s Phalodi district, around 400 km from Jaipur, police said. The victims were returning from Sursagar in Jodhpur after visiting the holy site of Kolayat in Bikaner when the tragic collision occurred. Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma expressed condolences and assured all possible support to the victims’ families. This is the second major bus tragedy in Rajasthan within a month. In October, 26 passengers were burnt alive after a sleeper bus caught fire in Jaisalmer due to a short circuit in the air conditioner. Following that incident, the transport department had launched a statewide crackdown on illegally modified buses and permit violations. Accident Caught on Camera in Rajasthan: 37 Injured 5 Critical As Wedding Bus Collides With Truck Near Majera Village (Disturbing Video).
