Eleven passengers were charred to death and nine others are missing as a private bus caught fire after hitting a two-wheeler in Andhra Pradesh's Kurnool in the early hours of Friday.

 

The bus, belonging to a private travel operator, was heading to Bengaluru from Hyderabad and had 41 passengers, including two children, on board, officials said.

 

Nineteen passengers came out by breaking the windows of the Volvo bus of Vemuri Kaveri Travels. The accident occurred around 3.30 a.m. near Ullindakonda in Kurnool district, police said.

 

Kurnool District Collector A. Siri told media persons at the scene of the mishap that out of 41 people on board, they have traced 21. Eleven of these 21 were taken to hospitals in Kurnool.

 

“We are yet to trace 20. Of them, eleven bodies have been recovered. Nine passengers are yet to be traced,” she said.

 

The Collector said the injured were in stable condition.

 

The bus began its journey from Hyderabad around 10.30 p.m., and when it reached near Kurnool on National Highway 44 (NH-44), at around 3:30 am, a two-wheeler rammed into the bus. The motorbike got stuck under the belly of the bus, and this is suspected to have caused the spark.

 

Survivors said the two-wheeler was dragged by the bus for about 300 meters. Most of the passengers were asleep at the time of the accidents. One of the survivors said he woke up to the screams of fire, and he, along with some others, broke the windows to jump to safety.

 

Akash, one of the survivors, said the bus was engulfed in flames within minutes. Most of the passengers on board belong to Hyderabad.

 

By the time a fire engine rushed to the spot, the bus was completely gutted. Police swung into action to shift the injured to hospitals.

 

The Collector said they have to confirm if the bus hit the bike or the two-wheeler rammed into the bus, but the bike went under the bus, and due to the impact of the collision, the fuel leaked, and a skidding spark triggered the fire.

 

Deputy Inspector General of Police Koya Praveen said the fire started from the bike. “The fuel tank of the bus is intact. The fire started from the bike’s fuel tank. As the material under the bus was highly combustible, the fire spread rapidly,” he said.

 

The DIG said that out of two drivers, one was in their custody while the other was yet to be traced.

 

A team of officials, including a doctor, officials from police, fire services, revenue and other departments, were at the mishap site to pull out of the charred remains of the passengers. The DIG said DNA tests would be conducted to identify the bodies.

 Modern cockroaches are an ancient group that first appeared during the Late Jurassic, with their ancestors, known as "roachoids", likely originating during the Carboniferous  period around 320 million years ago. Those early ancestors, however, lacked the internal ovipositors of modern roaches. Cockroaches are somewhat generalized insects lacking special adaptations (such as the sucking mouthparts of aphids and other true bugs); they have chewing mouthparts and are probably among the most primitive of living Neopteran insects. They are common and hardy insects capable of tolerating a wide range of climates, from Arctic cold to tropical  heat. Tropical cockroaches are often much larger than temperate species.
 Modern cockroaches are not considered to be a monophyletic group, as it has been found based on genetics that termites are deeply nested within the group, with some groups of cockroaches more closely related to termites than they are to other cockroaches, thus rendering Blattaria paraphyletic. Both cockroaches and termites are included in Blattodea.
 Some species, such as the gregarious German cockroach, have an elaborate social structure involving common shelter, social dependence, information transfer and kin recognition. Cockroaches have appeared in human culture since classical antiquity. They are popularly depicted as large, dirty pests, although the majority of species are small and inoffensive and live in a wide range of habitats around the world..

আসলে তুরেনজা নামে কোন দেশ নেই, এই ভুয়া খবরে কান দিয়ে কেউ সময় নষ্ট করবেন না,

Good night dear family 

Sarhul, the spring festival, holds significant cultural importance for indigenous tribes such as the Mundas, Oraons, and Santhals. Particularly for the Oraon community, it stands out as the largest spring festival observed during the months of March and April. In their native language, it is referred to as “Khaddi,” symbolizing the symbolic union or marriage of the earth. The significance of the forest flower known as sakhua or Sal is paramount as it symbolizes the cultural importance deeply rooted within the forest ecosystem. Despite their inherent significance, forest flowers often go unnoticed, highlighting the need to acknowledge and appreciate their cultural and ecological value. During this festival, reverence is bestowed upon Dharti Mata, as, the wife of Lord Rama encompassing the celebration of all forms of nature.This festival exemplifies the indigenous tribes’ conviction in the autonomy of their nature-centric worship practices which shows their core value of religion different from brahamnical ideologies. It underscores their deep-rooted gratitude towards nature for the sustenance and resources it provides, showcasing a distinct cultural reverence for their environment and its bounty.

This festival provides a strong sense of identity, particularly for theOraon tribe who predominantly engaged in agriculture, adheres to Sarnaism as its religious belief system which is not Hinduism revering nature as integral to their spirituality, this community celebrates the festival by offering homage to trees and various natural elements.
