Mumbai, Mar 10 (PTI) A 22-year-old motorcyclist who was injured after an MGL gas pipeline caught fire in Mumbai’s Andheri East area died on Monday, an official said.
The blaze erupted at 12.35 am on Sunday in a heavily leaking supply pipeline of Mahanagar Gas Limited passing through the middle of a road at Sher-E-Punjab society near a gurdwara at Takshila.
