Multiple buses were gutted in the fire on the Yamuna Expressway in Mathura in the early hours of Tuesday. As many as 11 fire tenders were pressed into service to douse the fire and conduct a rescue operation.

So far four deaths have been confirmed as authorities assess the situation.

The incident comes a day after large parts of Uttar Pradesh were blanketed by thick smog, with air quality worsening across several cities and visibility plunging sharply. Agra, in particular, witnessed dense fog that completely obscured the Taj Mahal from view. A resident described the conditions as so severe that even vehicles on the roads were barely visible.
