A gas agency truck caught fire in Uttar Pradesh’s Bareilly district on Monday afternoon, triggering a series of explosions in more than 300 LPG cylinders loaded on it, officials said.<\/p>\n
No casualties were reported in the incident, but frightened villagers evacuated the area near the gas agency warehouse, Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Mukesh Chandra Mishra said.<\/p>\n
He said the truck carrying more than 345 LPG cylinders, owned by Mahalaxmi Gas Agency, caught fire due to unidentified reasons near Rajau Parsapur village in Bithri Chainpur area.<\/p>\n
The blaze led to successive explosions in the cylinders, creating panic in the surrounding villages, he said.<\/p>\n
Upon receiving information, police and fire brigade personnel rushed to the spot and managed to douse the flames after about two-and-a-half hours of efforts, he added.<\/p>\n
Locals said the explosions were heard up to three kilometers away, and cylinder fragments were found scattered in fields nearly half a kilometre from the site.<\/p>\n
