Explosion of gas cylinder
On Pahela Baishakh when the people were enjoying and celebrating the "Nabobarsho", a young but poor balloonwallah (seller) met a tragic death as one of his gas cylinders blasted with a terrible sound. With the cylinder the man was flown into Dhanmondi Lake. I heard such kind of explosion of a gas cylinder for balloons a few years ago in old Dhaka. Not only the balloonwallah but also the children who are attracted to buy these balloons can be hit or killed. So a restriction must be imposed on the use of these cylinders.
In recent times, we have seen a number of accidents or explosions of cylinders used for vehicles. Certainly, those were defective. More accidents will occur in future if faulty cylinders are not banned and withdrawn immediately.
Gas cylinders are also being used in kitchen for cooking. Are all these cylinders 100% safe?
