Raigad floods sweep thousands of LPG cylinders into river
Heavy rains in Maharashtra's Raigad district caused floods that breached an HPCL bottling plant, washing away approximately 3,000 LPG cylinders into the Patalganga river. Authorities have issued warnings to the public not to touch the floating cylinders, as some may still contain gas. The incident has drawn comparisons on social media to scenes from popular culture.
