Anantapur, January 2, 2025: A fire broke out at buses belonging to former minister JC Diwakar Reddy’s Travels in Anantapur. The incident occurred early in the morning near the RTC (Road Transport Corporation) bus stand. Four buses were involved in the fire, with one bus completely destroyed and another partially burned. Local residents quickly alerted the police and fire department, who arrived at the scene and brought the fire under control. Fortunately, no one was present at the time of the fire, preventing any casualties.
During the YSR Congress Party’s tenure in power, several of JC Travels’ buses were reportedly stopped. As a result, the buses were parked near the RTC bus stand, and trash accumulated around them. Authorities are investigating whether the fire was caused by a short circuit or if it was the result of malicious intent by vandals.
Local residents confirmed that there were no fatalities or injuries, as no one was present in the buses when the fire occurred. The police are continuing their inquiry into the cause of the fire.
