Nanjangud: A family of five from the city had a miraculous escape when their car caught fire upon entering an asphalted road where farmers had laid horse gram produce for threshing yesterday. Thankfully, all passengers emerged unharmed, preventing a potential tragedy.
Despite warnings from the District Administration and the Police, rural roads in Mysuru frequently transform into makeshift threshing grounds, with farmers spreading their agricultural produce for processing. The intertwining of straw with vehicle wheels is a common occurrence, sometimes leading to friction-induced fires on the asphalted road.
