The water tanker from NTR Nagar was stuck in the traffic for over half an hour. 10 water tankers have done a number of trips,” said Venkatesh, a water tanker driver. Police officials had to cordon off the road beside the cloth shop to get on with the fire fighting operations. Dozens of police personnel were rushed to the spot to regulate traffic as drivers of cars and bike riders slowed down to watch the ‘tamasha’.
