A moving pulse truck suddenly caught fire, burning 30 tons of pulses. Fortunately, the truck driver escaped unharmed. The incident occurred at Amanakud Street on the Odashpur-Nyali road in Cuttack district.
At 4 o’clock this morning, the truck was en route to Konark after loading pulses from Raipur. The driver quickly realized that the truck was on fire while traveling on Amanakud Street. He immediately informed the local authorities. By the time firefighters arrived, the truck was already engulfed in flames, and the pulses had turned to ashes. After several hours of effort, the fire brigade successfully extinguished the blaze.
The cause of the fire remains unknown, but investigators suspect a short circuit may have triggered the incident.
