Safety audit launched for all 165 NMMT electric buses after fire incidents

Navi Mumbai, June 6 (UNI) In response to the recent fire incidents involving electric buses, the Navi Mumbai Metropolitan Transport Corporation (NMMT) initiated a comprehensive safety audit of its entire fleet of 165 electric buses, an official confirmed on Friday.
This move came after the unfortunate burning of four buses at Ghansoli station on Wednesday.
Under the directive of Transport Administrator Yogesh Kaduskar, immediate inspections were ordered for all buses manufactured by JBM Company, which is currently responsible for their maintenance.
By Thursday night, 114 buses had undergone safety checks, and after receiving clearance reports from the company, these buses were returned to service.
Special attention is being given to investigating the cause of the recent Basla fire to prevent any recurrence.
The administration has stressed that while the temporary shortage of buses has caused inconvenience to passengers, their safety remains the top priority. UNI AAA AKT SSP
