In a miraculous escape, passengers aboard a private bus travelling from Gujarat to Prayagraj for the Maha Kumbh Mela 2025 narrowly escaped when the vehicle fell into a ditch in Ajaygarh Valley in Madhya Pradesh's Panna. All passengers were safely rescued through the bus's emergency gate, with no casualties reported.
A video showing the passengers escaping through the emergency exit of the bus has surfaced on social media. Emergency services responded swiftly to the scene, and the bus was carefully retrieved from the ditch. Authorities are investigating the cause of the accident, which could have been far more disastrous had it not been for the timely use of the emergency gate and the calm actions of those on board.
