The tanker’s driver, Apparao, sustained severe injuries and has been admitted to a hospital in Gajuwaka
for treatment. Reports further claim that the impact generated by the oil tanker blast even caused a nearby building to develop cracks.On receiving the information, the police, and fire brigade reached the spot immediately and carried rescue operations. The police have registered a case and an investigation is underway to gain further insights.
Nageswara Rao, who served as a watchman in Visakhapatnam, used to take up occasional welding jobs for additional income. He is now survived by his wife and two children.
