Surathkal, Nov 15: A brief scare prevailed near Suratkal Junction on Friday night after a CNG tanker developed a leakage close to the Harsha showroom, causing concern among local residents.

The tanker, which had refilled CNG from the Baikampady Gail pump, reportedly began leaking as it headed towards Suratkal. The driver immediately halted the vehicle on the side of the national highway and alerted the concerned authorities about the potential danger.

As a precautionary measure, the national highway was temporarily closed and safety protocols were implemented.

Although CNG falls under natural gas and is not as hazardous as cooking fuel, experts note that in the event of a major fire accident, there remains a possibility of cylinder explosion. Considering this, the necessary safety measures were promptly undertaken.

    There is a urgent need for fire brigade station at Surathkal. There are many dangerous petrochemical & chemical factories in and around Suratkal , even though MRPL has its own fire brigade service, yet it not sufficient in case of major fire and also motor fuel , LPG, CNG, hazardous chemical tankers moving on highways, Also after Kadri there is no fire brigade station till Udupi. Karnataka state government should set up fire brigade station urgently near NITK or Mukka.
