The Andhra Pradesh Government has ordered the setting up of committee of senior IAS officers to probe the cause of the Palem bus mishap.

About 45 passengers were charred to death when the Volvo bus they were travelling in from Bangalore to Hyderabad was involved in the tragic accident last Wednesday.

The committee would also suggest measures to prevent such accidents in future, Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy said after a high-level review meeting.
