The six-member committee is also expected to recommend remedial measures to reduce the number of such incidents.

Transport minister Kailash Gahlot had constituted the committee of experts on April 21, with four incidents of fire in DTC buses being recorded in the last four months. Back then, Gahlot had tweeted that safety of every Delhiite was the Aam Aadmi Party government’s first priority and in light of the fire incidents in DTC buses, the committee of technical experts and officers had been constituted to identify the root cause of the incidents and suggest remedial measures.
