MV Sunshine became the 15th India-bound LPG vessel to safely move out of the Persian Gulf as Iran backed India’s diplomatic role in easing regional tensions.
Earlier on Monday, the first Indian-flagged 'Shivalik' docked at Mundra Port in Gujarat, carrying a total cargo of about 46,000 metric tonnes (MT) of LPG, with 20,000 MT set to be unloaded at Mundra and the remaining 26,000 MT to be discharged at Mangalore.
The Rajasthan High Court on Saturday took suo motu cognizance of the loss of lives in the LPG tanker fire that occurred in Bhankrota, on the outskirts of Jaipur, on Friday. The tragic incident has claimed 14 lives so far.
The tanker was taking a turn towards Bagru at the Ajmer Jaipur Highway when a speeding truck hit it from the rear causing the explosion in the tanker that instantly caught fire.
