Minor fire in IOC bottling plant

The incident occurred when the employees were filling gas in tankers and a minor fire broke out due to some mishandling, Nawab Khan, SHO, Sanganer Sadar, said.

The flames were, however, doused quickly and a major fire incident was averted, he said.

Two drivers who received burn injuries were admitted to a nearby hospital where their condition is stable, he said, adding, that a case was registered against the IOC.

Sitapura industrial area, around 20 km from here, had witnessed a major blaze in 2009 when IOC's fuel depot caught fire.
