"Driver's Fault": Telangana Minister On Horrific Bus Fire Tragedy

The devastating bus fire near Andhra Pradesh's Kurnool early Friday that killed 19 people has exposed a dangerous cocktail of human error, corporate negligence, and blatant safety violations that plague the private interstate travel sector.

A biker who was hit by the speeding bus also died in the accident. Now, Telangana Excise Minister Jupally Krishna Rao has laid the blame squarely on the bus driver and the travel company- Kaveri Travels- vowing strict punitive and deterrent action.
