This happens only in india where it is formally informed to customer about possible explosion while refilling. If it was any other sane country, they wouldn't allow such cars to reach market

The accident occurred because the CNG cylinder was installed at an outside facility rather than by the company.

CNG refuelling shouldn’t leave families guessing whether basic checks were done. Safety only feels real before the blast.

It's a Petrol/Diesel car. It was modified for a CNG tank. Look at the CNG fuel pipe being at the front of the car. Either it's AI or a modified car.

That must be after market cheap installation, Look at the cylinder it blasted in 2 parts. Pressure testing is done on cylinder with 3-4 times of the recommendation pressure. So cant blame the CNG or cylinder.

I just purchased a new car. The salesperson did recommend going with CNG for city use. But, I could never overcome the fear of what's transpired in this case, despite how safe the factory fitted ones are today. And when with a petrol one.

Can anyone in the world specify why this type of burst frequently seen in CNG pouring, or blast in electric vehicle. The reason should either come from motor industry, or electric engineer.

Good that no one was inside the car otherwise he/she would have suffered major injury. It would be interesting to see whether the owner gets insurance claim for damage he suffered. Further, let's wait for shitty reason from car manufacturers. This is serious incident.

Pakistan Summons Indian Envoy Over BSF Border Killings Instead of addressing its escalating internal crises, India resorts to external aggression and unprovoked force against unarmed civilians to feed a domestic narrative. Pakistan rejects false "infiltrator" labels, calls for an immediate, transparent investigation, and urges strict compliance with international humanitarian standards. #Diplomacy #BedianSector #JusticeForCivilians

CCTV footage of the blast went viral, showing that the powerful explosion tore apart the rear of the vehicle, damaged two nearby parked cars, and scattered debris several meters away, though no injuries were reported. Local police and fire teams responded to secure the area, and authorities are investigating potential causes such as a faulty cylinder valve or kit leakage.
