A Dhaka-bound passenger bus caught fire on the Jessore-Dhaka highway near Fatepur Daitola in Jessore Sadar upazila on Friday afternoon. Although all passengers escaped safely, their belongings were completely destroyed in the blaze. The incident occurred shortly after 4 p.m. when the Narail Express bus departed from Jessore city’s Monihar counter. Witnesses said the driver stopped the bus immediately after flames erupted from the engine, allowing passengers to evacuate.
Police and fire service personnel arrived at the scene and extinguished the fire, according to Masud Khan, officer-in-charge of Jessore Kotwali Police Station. However, passengers reported that the bus was already fully burned before firefighters arrived. Fire service officials confirmed that a sub-officer was present at the site, but further details were unavailable as he could not be reached by phone.
Some passengers alleged that the bus had mechanical issues before departure and that the driver was reluctant to operate it. The incident caused heavy traffic congestion on both sides of the highway as vehicles were halted following the fire.
