Benzene Leak from Tanker in Mumbai's Chembur Controlled Without Injuries
A benzene leak was detected from a tanker near Mysore Colony in Mumbai's Chembur area on Monday evening but was quickly controlled without injuries.

Separately, a tanker carrying glacial acetic acid tilted in Mulund West but did not leak. Emergency teams responded promptly to both incidents.
