Imam said that on the way home, the bus he was riding on smelled like brake lining.
When he asked the driver about the smell, the driver replied that it was a new brake lining.
“Actually, we have no problem, the car is in top condition. But somehow on the way there was a smell. I asked him, why does this car smell? The brake pads are generally new. Yes, that’s right, it means it’s okay, no problem. It feels like home, “he concluded.
As a result of this unfortunate incident, 27 people were reported to have died. Now, the Ministry of Transport is conducting an investigation into the deadly accident.
