Nitrogen Gas Leak Sparks Panic in Assam’s Samaguri

Nagaon: Panic gripped Samaguri on November 6 after nitrogen gas began leaking at high pressure from a tanker during a gas transfer operation on National Highway 127. The tanker had reportedly been involved in an accident two days earlier and was under police custody.

Residents rushed out of their homes as the escaping gas spread towards nearby houses. Reports alleged that the transfer operation was conducted without adequate safety measures, raising concerns over possible suffocation risks. Further details are awaited.
