Gas Leak Near Takliwadi Causes Traffic Diversion on Samruddhi Expressway
A gas leak was reported on a Piped Natural Gas (PNG) pipeline near Takliwadi along Maharashtra's Samruddhi Expressway in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district on August 29. Officials from GAIL shut valves on both sides of the affected section, reducing pipeline pressure. As a precaution, traffic on a 24-km stretch between Hadas Pimpalgaon and Maliwada was diverted onto the Dhule-Solapur highway. Authorities are monitoring the situation and working to restore normal traffic promptly.
