    This is not the first time Why Govt not imposing rule on tanker people. Why tanker people not taking safety methods.

    Innocent people die.

    I feel sad to hear that cleaner die.

    Driver has to be imprisoned.

    RIP dear brother.

    Terrifying. Two more people were believed to be inside apart from the Driver and Cleaner ? These two people can be that the Truck Drivers pick up on the way to make some quick bucks. How to ascertain their identity if they char to death ?

    The fire will rage until the oil will burn and finish unless the civil defense will use sand/foam to suppress it. Imagine the amount of smoke emitting till the end, the damages to the houses and the residents. In this rainy season, how will they relocate without any belongings ?

    God help them all.

    Carrying additional 2 people is not a real Issue ...but House close to the ROADS is main issue.....there is safe distance for houses from certain Roads (Highway, State highway, Etc.), but that remained only in paper ..in actual people encroach even roads ....ACCIDENTS can happen anywhere anytime additional safety and Prevention Important
