In yet another such incident in the city, a car caught fire on the flyover near Fire Station Chhak on Thursday. Fortunately, three occupants of the vehicle escaped unhurt.
Smoke started emanating from the bonnet of the car while the vehicle was in motion, following which the driver parked the car on roadside while all the occupants alighted.
Moments later, fire broke out in the car. The vehicle was severely damaged in the fire. The car was being taken from Master Canteen to a garage at Khandagiri for repairing while the fire emerged probably due to an electrical short circuit.
On being informed, Fire Services personnel reached the spot and doused the flames.
