Around 3,000 LPG cylinders were swept away by floodwaters after a protective wall at the HPCL Patalganga LPG Bottling Plant in Maharashtra’s Raigad district collapsed following heavy rainfall, officials said.

The incident took place after continuous rainfall caused floodwaters to enter the facility. The strong current carried away thousands of cylinders, which were later seen floating in the Patalganga River and Kharpada Creek.
