Lucky escape: No casualties as wagon catches fire

SUKKUR: A Shikarpur-bound wagon caught fire after its CNG cylinder exploded on the National Highway near the Sukkur toll plaza on Sunday. The passengers, however, remained unhurt. The wagon, carrying a family from Ghotki, was on its way to Shikarpur when the driver asked the passengers to evacuate the vehicle due to the strong smell of gas. As soon as they got out of the wagon, the CNG cylinder exploded, burning the vehicle down.
