Eighteen private buses were gutted in a fire at SV Coach Works, a bus-building workshop near PES University in south Bengaluru, Monday.

The smoke billowing out of the bus workshop was visible from a distance of a few kilometres. A police officer said, “There were no fire safety measures at the workshop.
