Taking a serious view of the bus accident in Guna district that claimed 13 lives, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Thursday ordered transfers of state transport commissioner Sanjay Kumar Jha, district collector Tarun Rathi and superintendent of police Vijay Khatri. After returning from Guna where he met the injured persons in the hospital, Yadav in a statement said it was a "heart-wrenching incident" and stern action will be taken against those responsible.
As many as 13 people were charred to death and 14 others injured after the bus collided with a dumper in Guna district on Wednesday night. The chief minister also directed all district collectors and other concerned officers to ensure that such an incident does not take place by regularly checking permits and other documents of public transport vehicles.
Subsequently, the state government first issued the transfer order of the collector, followed by transfer orders of state transport commissioner and Guna SP.
