The driver stopped the bus after noticing smoke coming from the rear end of the vehicle, and all passengers with their belongings alighted safely, he said.
Fire tenders fought the blaze, but it engulfed and gutted the bus, the official said, adding that an investigation is underway to ascertain the cause of the fire.

China's Women Must Start "New Trend Of Family": Xi Jinping
Chinese President Xi Jinping said women have a critical role and must establish a "new trend of family", as the nation grapples with an ageing population and record decline in the birth rate.
Xi in comments, published on state news agency Xinhua on Monday, said the role of women had been part of a discussion with the new leadership team of the All China Women's Federation, which operates under the Communist Party.
Doing a good job in women's work is not only related to women's own development, he said but also related to "family harmony, social harmony, national development and national progress".
It is necessary to "actively cultivate a new culture of marriage and childbearing and strengthen guidance on young people's view on marriage, childbirth and family," he said.
Factors including high childcare costs, career hindrance, gender discrimination and not wanting to get married have deterred many young Chinese women from having children.
The number of births is closely tied to marriage rates because official policies make it hard for single women to have children.
China's National Bureau of Statistics in January reported the first population drop in six decades and the country's population is rapidly ageing.
In the last two years, authorities across China have unveiled measures to lift the country's birth rate including financial incentives and boosting childcare facilities.
The state media has often linked population development to the strength and "rejuvenation" of the country.

BJP Announces 2 More Candidates For Madhya Pradesh Assembly polls
The Bharatiya Janata Party on Sunday announced its candidates for Guna and Vidisha assembly seats in Madhya Pradesh.

The BJP has fielded Pannalal Shakya from Guna and Mukesh Tandon from Vidisha assembly seats.
Mukesh Tandon is considered close to Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, as per party sources.

Shivraj Chouhan also represented Vidisha Lok Sabha seat five times, according to state BJP secretary Rajneesh Agrawal.
Both the ruling BJP and the opposition Congress have announced their candidates for all the 230 assembly seats in the state.

UK PM, France's Macron Stress Need For Urgent Humanitarian Aid In Gaza
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and French President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday underlined the importance of shipping urgent humanitarian support into war-torn Gaza, the UK government said.
They spoke by telephone following the expansion of Israel's military operation against Hamas and expressed "their shared concern at the risk of escalation in the wider region", said a Downing Street spokesperson.
Hamas militants launched a surprise attack on Israel on October 7, killing at least 1,400 people, mostly civilians, according to Israeli officials.
Since the attack, the health ministry in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip says more than 8,000 Palestinians have been killed -- half of them children -- by Israel's relentless retaliatory bombardments.
"The leaders stressed the importance of getting urgent humanitarian support into Gaza," said the readout of the conversation between Sunak and Macron.
"They agreed to work together on efforts both to get crucial food, fuel, water and medicine to those who need it, and to get foreign nationals out."
The pair updated each other on the conversations they have had with leaders in the region "to stress the importance of working to ensure regional stability."
"They expressed their shared concern at the risk of escalation in the wider region, in particular in the West Bank," the readout added.
Sunak and Macron also "agreed that it was important not to lose sight of the long-term future of the region and, in particular, the need for a two-state solution".
"They underscored that Hamas does not represent ordinary Palestinians and that their barbarism should not undermine the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people," Number 10 said.
According to France's presidential office, the pair also reaffirmed Israel's right to defend itself within the limits of international law.

New York City Sets Up Office To Give Migrants Free One-Way Plane Tickets to Anywhere Else
Migrants in New York City are being offered free one-way plane tickets to anywhere in the world as the city contents with a crunch of resources due to an influx of people from the Southern border. According to the New York Post, New York Mayor Eric Adams has set up a new "reticketing centre" for the migrants where they can secure a free, one-way plane ticket out of town.
"With no sign of a decompression strategy in the near future, we have established a reticketing center for migrants," a spokesperson for Mayor Adams said, as per the outlet. "Here, the city will redouble efforts to purchase tickets for migrants to help them take the next steps in their journeys, and it helps us triage operations at The Roosevelt for new arrivals," they added.
Earlier this week it was revealed the daily cost of housing migrants in the city's care was around $394 per person - a cost which has risen in recent months. Now, instead of continuously paying a daily rate that could rise even further, Mr Adams is steering migrants to a Manhattan office devoted solely to booking plane tickets, figuring it's cheaper than sheltering them for months on end. He is simultaneously also warning that those opting to stay in New York may be in for a winter of sleeping outside with shelters full.
"When you are out of room, that means you're out of room," Mr Adams told reporters Tuesday. "Every year, my relatives show up for Thanksgiving, and they want to all sleep at my house. There's no more room. That's where we are right now," he added.

Notably, according to Politico, the new "reticketing" plan comes as the city deals with the 130,000 migrants arriving since last year. It also comes as the Mayor has imposed the 30-day limit for how long a single adult migrant can remain in a city-run shelter in a bid to free up space.
Some of the migrants who have taken up the city's offer have already booked plane tickets as far away as Morocco, the outlet reported.
Limits on shelter stays, combined with casework services that include "reticketing" to other places, are necessary to drive down the population in the city's care and make room for new arrivals, City Hall officials said.

Opinion: Opinion: The Heavy Cost Of A Widening Israel-Hamas War
The Israel-Hamas conflict is looking more and more ominous. Israel is bent on seeking ruthless revenge. The outrage in Israel provoked by the horrific Hamas killings of Israeli civilians and the taking of hostages is understandable, but how far will Israel go?
The immediate response has been to inflict terrible punishment by destroying buildings in Gaza city, cutting off supplies of food, water and fuel, and force Gazans to move from the north to the south of the Strip in order to have a freer hand in operations and avoid large-scale indiscriminate civilian casualties. Israel's land invasion of Gaza, which seemed imminent at one time, has been delayed. Whether this is on account of the US' dissuasion or to give time for the deployment of US military in the area to be completed, or to make room for behind-the-scene diplomacy to get hostages freed, or hesitation because of huge casualties Israel will inevitably suffer in urban warfare is not clear.
The US is giving Israel full support, but has tried to balance it by calling for restraint in order to limit civilian casualties and has backed the supply of humanitarian aid to Gaza. How far this balancing can work in attenuating anti-US sentiments in the region is open to doubt, as the US is seen as the principal supporter of Israel for geopolitical reasons as well as those linked to America's domestic politics.
The US has been working successfully for the regional acceptance of Israel through the normalisation of its ties with the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan, crowned by Saudi Arabia ties, as part of the Abrahamic accords. The Palestinian cause, which had already lost its centrality in Arab politics, would have been further marginalised with these accords. This was happening even as Israeli settlements were being expanded in the West Bank and the Benjamin Netanyahu government's determination to bury the two-state solution was manifest. The Hamas attack has arrested this normalisation process and has brought the Palestinian question back to the centre of regional politics.
Major western leaders - from Germany, UK and France - have also shown full solidarity with Israel, supporting its right to defend itself, while also, as in the case of the US, reminding it, as a democratic country, to respect the laws of war. Israel, however, is continuing to bomb Gaza, and civilian casualties continue to rise. Israel is determined to decimate the Hamas as a fighting force once and for all, though it is not clear how long that operation will take and whether the costs Israel will incur in the huge war losses will be sustainable. If Israel succeeds, the issue of who will govern Gaza will arise.
The Palestinian Authority in the West Bank, already in disrepute as being ineffective, may not want to enter Gaza on the back of an Israeli victory coming at a great human cost for Gaza's population. In the past, the idea of an Arab peacekeeping force in Gaza to ensure security for all was rejected by Arab countries. Whether that idea can be revived without resolving the larger question of an independent Palestinian state seems most unlikely. For Israel to demand security against threats from Gaza while keeping its hold on Arabs in the West Bank would not be a workable political proposition.
The UN Security Council, predictably, has not been able to act. The Brazilian resolution for a "humanitarian pause" was vetoed by the US. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken opposes a ceasefire as that would allow Hamas to "refit". The White House spokesperson has taken the position that in war loss of civilian lives is inevitable. The US is also questioning the accuracy of the numbers of civilians killed in Gaza.
To prevent the conflict from becoming regional, a ceasefire would seem an essential first step, but on this, there is no agreement in the UNSC. The Russian proposal for a ceasefire and return of hostages failed to secure a majority, besides being rejected by the US, UK and France. The US resolution, which called for a humanitarian pause but not a ceasefire, has been rejected by Russia, China and the UAE. China has taken a markedly pro-Palestinian position, calling the US resolution evasive and unbalanced and failing to call for a ceasefire. The UN General Assembly is now set to vote on a draft Arab resolution calling for a ceasefire and the revocation of the Israeli order to evacuate North Gaza.
The irony in all this is that the US realises the danger of the conflict spreading, which is why it has decided to send two aircraft carrier strike groups and a marine unit to the Mediterranean. It fears that regional actors like the Hezbollah in Lebanon, backed by Iran, may open a second front against Israel from the North where already some exchange of fire has taken place. The US wants to deter Hezbollah and Iran by a show of military strength and stern warnings to both to stay out of the conflict. Iran is engaged in active diplomacy with a mixture of defiance and diplomacy to effect the release of hostages.
The US has begun to supply more arms aid to Israel. The option is not to prevent war but to stop others from joining it in support of the Palestinians. If under this US military cover Israel continues to bombard Gaza and, at some stage, send its land forces in, the likelihood of a blow-up could well increase.
The spectre of the daily bombardment of Gaza, buildings being reduced to rubble, and civilians being killed, the collective punishment imposed on the Gazans is turning international opinion against Israel. The Arab street is of course inflamed, but big public demonstrations against Israel by local Muslim populations and others are taking place also in European and American cities. France has sought to ban pro-Palestinian demonstrations to avoid street violence. Amazingly, protestors including American Jews have intruded into the US Capitol to express their opposition to Israeli actions. The bombing of the al Ahli hospital in Gaza has further turned the narrative against Israel, even if it is unclear who was responsible for it, whether it was Israel or the Islamic Jihad.
The UN Secretary General has been focusing on the issue of humanitarian aid for the Gaza population, to the point of being personally present at the Rafah crossing in Egypt to supervise the entry of relief trucks into Gaza. His statement at the most recent UN Security Council meeting condemned the Hamas terror attacks as well as the act of inflicting collective punishment as a war crime. He stressed that the action of Hamas had not occurred in a vacuum as the Palestinians have seen their land "steadily devoured by settlements and plagued by violence; their economy stifled; their people displaced and their homes demolished", with their hopes for a political solution vanishing. He sees a two-state solution as the only realistic foundation for true peace and stability. The Secretary General's statement has been violently criticised by Israel, with calls for his resignation, a reaction that does not help Israel's case in international public opinion.
The mantra of a two-state solution can be recited politically by world leaders but the reality on the ground argues against it in practical terms.
The size of Israeli settlements on the West Bank is massive, with over 4,50,000 Israeli settlers in the West Bank and an additional 2,20,000 living in East Jerusalem. Can they be uprooted without a huge internal crisis in Israel? Who would impose such a solution? The manner in which Israel, for security and other reasons, has broken the West Bank into enclaves raises the question of whether the Palestinians will accept an unviable state.
India has taken a carefully balanced position in the UN Security Council that responds to the developing situation after the initial horrific terrorist attacks that Israel suffered. Our statement recalls that India at the Prime Minister's level had unequivocally condemned these terror attacks and had stood with Israel in their moment of crisis. The statement expresses deep concern about the deteriorating security situation, the large scale loss of civilian lives and the alarming humanitarian crisis. It urges all parties to protect civilians and also work to create conditions for peace through de-escalation. It calls for immediate resumption of direct and credible negotiations between Israel and Palestine for a lasting two-state solution leading to the establishment of a sovereign, independent and viable Palestinian state living within secure and recognised borders side by side in peace with Israel. The statement underlines India's supply of humanitarian assistance to Gaza.
The last word has, however, not been said on this highly dangerous ongoing conflict.
