Afzalpur: A KSRTC bus veered off the road into a field near RMS School in Atanur village today. No injuries were reported.

The bus was travelling from Afzalpur to Kalaburagi when the incident occurred. The driver managed to bring the vehicle under control and safely stop it, preventing any damage or injuries.

According to Transport Unit Manager A.V. Bhovi, the road at the spot was narrow and there was a risk from an oncoming vehicle.

“The driver steered the bus to the side as a precaution. No damage was caused, and there is no need for the public to panic,” he said.
