A fuel tanker exploded in a filling station in Tangail’s Natiapara on Tuesday.
The incident took place around 9am Tuesday at Nahian filling station disrupting transport on the Dhaka-Tangail highway for about an hour.
Tangail Fire Service and Civil Defence Deputy Director Abu Jafar said another vehicle slammed into the oil-filled lorry when it was parked at Nahian Filling Station . That triggered the explosion.
The fire in the tanker spread to a nearby covered van, a Diba Paribahan bus and four trucks.
Six fire fighting units rushed to the spot to bring the fire under control after an hour.
Abu Jafar said no one was hurt, but the tanker was completely gutted.
The tanker contained 9000 litres of oil belonging to the Meghna Oil Company , said Police Sergeant Jamal Hossain.
