A ground investigation across sleeper buses operating between Delhi, Bihar, Indore, and Jaipur reveals critical violations of passenger safety norms. In buses travelling from Delhi to Bihar, designated emergency exits were found completely sealed with nuts and bolts, making escape during emergencies nearly impossible. Crucial safety equipment like glass-shattering hammers was absent, and fire extinguishers were either inadequate or improperly maintained. A similar situation was exposed in sleeper buses arriving in Jaipur from Indore, where emergency doors were blocked by sleeper berths or welded shut, and fire cylinders were stowed away inside luggage compartments instead of being mounted. The report highlights severe negligence by operators and enforcement lapses by transport authorities.
