July 27, 2023
Dahegam: A cattle rearer person suffered minor injuries after the blast in the gobar gas plant in Champapur village of Dahegam.
A gobar gas plant was installed about three to four months ago at Kadjodra village and Devkarn na Muvada village as a pilot project.
In Champapur which falls under Kadjodra village, two cattle rearers had installed gobar gas plants. Thanks to the subsidy given by the government, a cattle rearer could get Rs. 42,000 worth of plant for just Rs. 5,000.
However, on Tuesday, Bharatsinh Rumalsinh, a cattle rearer witnessed a blast in his gobar gas plant at around 5 pm. Bharatsinh said a balloon of gobar gas had gone flat following which he filled the air in it. A blast took place when it was half-filled.
Bharatsinh suffered a minor injury on his hand due to the blast. He said a balloon needs to be filled with air every two-three day’s distance after which the plant starts working. On Tuesday, he filled the air using a drawer machine which is used to clean dust in the car. A balloon got burst.
A team of Taluka panchayat visited Bharatsinh’s house and collected the details along with photographs.
