A late-night collision on the Jaipur-Ajmer highway on Tuesday has once again brought to mind the Bhankrota fire that occurred nearly ten months ago, although the recent incident unfolded slightly differently.

The crash involved a truck carrying cylinders and a tanker loaded with chemicals. Remarkably, no fire broke out for approximately 21 minutes after the impact. Then, suddenly, a cylinder exploded, followed by a chain of explosions that echoed for several kilometres.
