Three people died in a fire following an LPG cylinder explosion in a van.

Three passengers perished in a fire, while two others suffered burns following the explosion of a gas cylinder in a van near the M-1 Toll Plaza, as reported by Dunya News.

Upon receiving information, police and rescue crews mobilized to the location and commenced the rescue effort. Initial reports indicate that three passengers perished, while two others suffered burns.

The injured and deceased were transported to the hospital. The injured individual’s condition was reported as critical. Additional investigation was in progress.

Explosions of LPG cylinders are prevalent. Innocent lives were extinguished in these detonations. Predominantly, these explosions occur as a result of inferior cylinders.

Relevant authorities have significantly failed to prevent such incidents. Multiple administrations have repeatedly declared initiatives to combat the mafia engaged in the production of substandard LPG cylinders to prevent such occurrences.

Regrettably, cases of cylinder explosions persist. A robust policy is required to preserve life in such instances.
