The death of 24 people in the horrific bus accident in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan shocked the entire country. Now the investigation report of this horrific fire has made such shocking revelations, which have exposed the working style and corruption of the state transport department. Actually, this accident happened in the bus of Jess Jainam Travels Company. But investigation revealed that this bus and the remaining 65 buses of the company were running on the roads flouting all the rules.
The department’s investigation found that the company, in connivance with officials, had registered only the chassis instead of the buses. That means the bus was given permission to run on the road even before it was ready. Transport department officials allow these buses to run on the roads. None of these 66 buses were tested before making the body of the bus nor before putting the chassis on the road. Registration of these buses Rajasthan Instead of this, 10 buses have been sent to Arunachal Pradesh, 5 to Nagaland, 5 to Bihar and 4 to Assam.
26 out of 66 buses of Jainam company have been registered without getting the body prepared. That is, only the chassis of the bus was allowed to run on the road as a bus. As per rules, a certificate for running the finished bus is given. This entire disclosure has been made in the investigation of the Transport Department itself.
After the Jaisalmer fire incident, the Transport Department had formed an inquiry committee. Manish Jain, owner of Jainam Coach Company, himself used to run buses in the name of Jain Travels. Two-three years ago it started a bus body manufacturing factory.
The reason why a large number of people died in the bus accident was that the bus did not have emergency gates. Instead, it had made two extra seats. There was no trained electrician for wiring in the bus body factory. The fire broke out due to short circuit in the AC behind the bus. Cheap wires were used in wiring. He used to buy non-AC bus and then convert it into AC bus. Export has also raised questions on the load and wiring of the AC. The size of the bus was also increased to increase seats and sleepers in the bus.
