A gas pipeline allegedly exploded in Surajpur industrial area in Greater Noida when a team of workers were fixing a leakage in the pipe near a factory in Site-B on Wednesday morning, said a fire officer, adding that the impact of the blast was such that the adjacent factory’s guard room, located beside the gas pipeline, was completely damaged. Gautam Budh Nagar chief fire officer Pradeep Kumar Chaubey said, “On Wednesday around 9.15am, the fire control room was alerted that a major fire broke out at a gas pipeline in the Surajpur industrial area in Site-B, Greater Noida.” “As soon as we received information, four fire tenders from surrounding fire stations were rushed to the spot and managed to douse the flames after an hour of continuous effort,” said Chaubey, adding that the gas pipeline distributor company was also informed to stop the flow of gas to prevent a major incident. When two workers of the gas pipeline company were fixing the fault, the pipeline caught fire.” “As fire erupted, the workers ran away and the pipeline exploded.
