A gas leak from a truck carrying CNG cylinders near Savali turning on National Highway 53 triggered concern on Friday evening. Quick action by Wadoda police and an expert team from Jio CNG helped avert a possible disaster. No casualties or property damage were reported.
According to police, a Dial 112 patrol team noticed the leak around 6.30 pm on October 16. The team immediately alerted Assistant Police Inspector Manoj Gadade, in-charge of Wadoda Police Station.
Police personnel rushed to the spot and secured the area. They controlled traffic, cut off the power supply and coordinated with the concerned agencies to prevent any untoward incident.
