Jaipur: Fire billowed from an IOC fuel
storage tank on Wednesday on the seventh day of the devastating
inferno in Sitapura area here, officials said.
"The fire will probably die down completely by
tomorrow morning," Ishwar Lal Jat, Chief Fire Officer said.
A major fire had engulfed eleven IOC fuels tanks on
Thursday and the flames have died down in all but one tank, he
said.
Nearly 7-8 litres of fuel is still left in the tank
and the fire may die down by this evening if its lids break
due to pressure as happened in another fuel tank late last
night, Jat said.
Meanwhile, traffic, in the radius of 500 metres of the
site, remained closed as a safety measure, and the situation
will be reviewed in the evening, a district administration
official said.
