Gas Leak on Samruddhi Expressway Leads to Traffic Diversion in Maharashtra
A gas leak from a GAIL pipeline near Takliwadi in Maharashtra's Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district prompted authorities to divert traffic on a 24-km stretch of the Samruddhi Expressway on August 29. Valves on both sides of the affected pipeline section were shut, reducing pressure. Traffic was rerouted via the Dhule-Solapur highway between Hadas Pimpalgaon and Maliwada interchanges as a precaution. District officials and police monitored the situation, with firefighting equipment deployed and efforts ongoing to restore normal traffic.
