JAIPUR: Two people were killed while 12 others suffered burn injuries after a bus carrying labourers came in contact with a high-tension power line in the Manoharpur area, about 50 kilometres from Jaipur, on Tuesday.

According to officials, the labourers were being transported to a brick kiln in Todi village when the accident occurred.

The bus reportedly brushed against an overhead high-tension line, causing an electric current to surge through the vehicle and triggering a fire. Locals rushed to the scene and helped rescue those trapped inside the burning bus.
