    Sure our roads are not for transporting such inflammable liquids.But to be done by sea or trains. Sametime driver also should be aware of what he transports and how. Better when traffic is lesser at nights and limited speed. I doubt whether this driver also was loaded? Otherwise how can it happen or sudden brake? Good no hazards happened. Thank God.

    People driving trucks carrying hazardous fluids need to be well-trained not just in driving in a straight line, but also in defensive driving techniques. The location of this accident is on a high incline that was recently constructed to facilitate flyover work. The merge with the highway at this point is poorly designed and lacks scientific planning. However, the accident could have been avoided if the driver had been more aware of the situation. These trucks should never be traveling at speeds above 30 or 40 km/h, given the high stakes involved in transporting hazardous materials. This is not the first accident of its kind. A few weeks ago, many lives were lost when an LPG truck collided in Jaipur. Considering the same scenario here, the consequences could have been catastrophic, especially since this spot was crowded with people and is within city limits.

    No one to be blamed bad roads may be contributed to the incident. This is a pure case of drivers negligence .Liquid container on sudden braking effecting its gravity and can over turn. Do you think the driver was fully trained to operate trailer/tanker??

    The safety of our MLA , MP and Ministers should be taken care under such situations. Thank God nothing happened to them. People are replaceable and does not make much difference if killed in such accidents but our precious MLA , MP and Ministers should be saved.. Their safety should be our first concern. We elect them and they sacrifice their lives for us. So we should ensure their smooth travel. Under their tight schedule if such accidents happen they will not be able to give their selfless services to people because of these delays. I suggest we should have seperate nice roads for them to travel.

    Very lucky for surrounding people and vehicles... This would have been a half kilometer radius disaster... We are left with no choice but to depend on individual abilities of drivers... Accidents are unforeseen... Companies take all safeguards possible yet sporadically such mishaps occur...
