Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath took cognizance of the incident and directed officials to immediately reach the scene and expedite relief and rescue operations.


Take these precautions with gas cylinders...


Such accidents often escalate into major dangers due to minor negligence. Taking a few important precautions when using gas cylinders can help prevent such accidents:


1. Always keep the cylinder upright.

Never lay the gas cylinder down. Always use it in an upright position.


2. Regularly check for leaks.

Check the pipes and regulator at regular intervals. If you smell gas, turn off the cylinder immediately.


3. Use ISI marked pipes and regulators.

Cheap or poor quality pipes can cause major accidents.


4. Keep the stove and cylinder separate.

Keep the stove slightly above the cylinder and at a safe distance so that the fire does not reach the cylinder directly.


5. Store the cylinder in a well-ventilated area.

Storing it in a closed room or a cramped area can be dangerous.


6. Keep away from children

Keep gas stove and cylinder out of reach of children.


7. What to do in case of fire


Immediately turn off the regulator.

Do not turn on/off the power switch

Do not use matches or lighters at all.

Immediately inform the fire brigade


8. Always check the expiry date.

The expiry date is printed on every cylinder. Do not use an expired cylinder.
