MALDA, Sept. 25: Hundreds of residents of three villages in Gazole did not cook food today and made good with dry food as per instruction from the police.
The ‘no cooking’ programme was forced on the residents by an overturned oil tanker.
The inflammable laden vehicle skidded off the National Highway and fell into a roadside ditch this morning at Ahora in Gazole police station.
Fearing leakage from the tanker, the police alerted the local people and asked them not to use fire in the area, as it could prove dangerous.
The police failed to lift the tanker weighing 17 tons despite the best efforts through out the day and have finally urged the Indian Oil Corporation to bring a heavy recovery van.
The fire brigade employees checked the tanker. Though they did not find any seepage or leakage, they have suggested not to use fire in the area. #
