Gurugram: A bus and a factory were gutted in separate incidents of fire that took place at Rampura Flyover on NH-48 and Behram Pura village in Gurugram on Friday, officials said.

A private bus caught fire at Rampura flyover on the Delhi-Jaipur Expressway at around 8 a.m. The incident occurred when the bus was carrying a company staff, a fire department official said.
