Howrah: A gas-filled tanker overturned on NH-16 at Bagnan’s Chandrapur early on Sunday. According to cops, the gas tanker was traveling from Haldia to Kolkata.
Due to heavy fog, the tanker hit a divider and overturned on the road. Upon receiving the news, police arrived and realized that gas was leaking from the tanker. Employees from the gas company visited the scene and stopped the leakage. Due to the tanker blocking the road, police managed traffic by allowing vehicles to use the road towards Kolaghat. Traffic flow returned to normal around 9:30 am. —Rupak Banerjee
