The Minister informed that the government would consult experts for conducting safety drills and tips akin to those given in flights, for the safety of passengers during emergency. With regard to Wednesday’s tragic bus fire at Mahbubnagar, which left 45 persons killed, Botcha said necessary legal action would be taken against the owner of the bus -Diwakar Road Lines.
