Jaipur, Oct 15
Taking disciplinary action following the Jaisalmer sleeper bus fire tragedy, which claimed 21 lives in Jaisalmer, the Rajasthan Transport Department suspended two officials from Chittorgarh - acting District Transport Officer (DTO) Surendra Singh and Assistant Administrative Officer Chunni Lal - for approving the body of the ill-fated bus that caught fire.
Also, the first FIR in the case was lodged late Tuesday night at Jaisalmer Sadar Police Station by the brother of journalist Rajendra Chauhan, one of the victims.
The death toll has now risen to 21, after 10-year-old Yunus succumbed to burn injuries at Mahatma Gandhi Hospital, Jodhpur, on Wednesday morning.
Chief Minister Sharma later visited the Army Cantonment in Jaisalmer, where the burnt bus has been kept, to inspect the wreckage and assess the tragedy firsthand.
