Supreme Court Seeks Responses on Greater Noida Bus Fire and Safety Violations
Following a fire on a sleeper bus near Greater Noida that killed nine passengers, the Supreme Court has sought responses from the Uttar Pradesh government and the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.

The petition also requested a detailed report on the bus's ownership, fitness, permits, and safety compliance. The court will review the matter after two months.
