The vehicular movement on the Pune-Mumbai Expressway, which was disrupted since last night following a leakage in a gas tanker, resumed this afternoon after about 15 hours.
Taking no chances, the authorities decided to divert the traffic to the old Pune-Mumbai highway from the Kivale village.
The Hinjewadi fire station was informed about the leakage following which a team of firefighters was sent to the spot to check the leakage. Experts from the Chakan and Taloja plants of Bharat Petroleum were called in for help.
When the experts could not stop the leakage completely, they emptied the tanker and transferred the remaining gas into another tanker. According to the police, the tanker was headed for the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC), Taloja.
