Oxygen cylinder leaks in Thane hospital; no patient affected
Thane (PTI): Oxygen gas leaked from a cylinder at a civic-run hospital in Maharashtra's Thane city shortly after midnight on Sunday, officials said.
The incident took place at 12.25 am at the Matoshree Gangubai Sambhaji Shinde Hospital located in Srinagar area of Wagle Estate. No patient was affected due to the gas leakage, Thane Municipal Corporation's disaster management cell chief Yasin Tadvi said.
As pressure in the 390 kg cylinder increased, its safety valve bent and the gas started leaking, he said.
A local attendant brought the pressure under control and the leakage was plugged after about 45 minutes, the official said.
The hospital has another oxygen gas cylinder of 390 kg and the supply to the facility has not been affected, he said.

Morena, Jan 3: A Dalit woman and her daughter were brutally assaulted on Friday allegedly by two men and then dragged on the road in Morena in Madhya Pradesh following a minor incident involving a dog, a police official said.
A video of the incident, which took place in full public view in Ambah area, went viral on social media.
"Anita Mahor has sustained serious injuries after being hit by sticks and then dragged on the road. Her daughter Bharti is also injured. We have arrested Rajesh Tomar and Kumher Singh Tomar for assaulting them," Ambah police station in charge Satendra Singh Kushwaha said.
"Anita Mahor's son Deepak has told us that his younger brother Santosh was going to throw waste this morning when he was startled by the presence of a dog. He threw the waste, which also included dung, on the dog in fright and fled. This infuriated the two accused," he said.
The two accused and others stormed into Mahor's house armed with a chopper and sticks and attacked her and her kin, police said.
