In Sirohi district of Rajasthan, an oil tanker overturned early Monday morning on a four-lane highway in the jurisdiction of the Swaroopganj police station. As the tanker toppled over, hundreds of liters of cooking oil spilled onto the road, creating a slick that drew the attention of local residents. One passerby noticed the oil spilling onto the highway, and this soon prompted a crowd to gather at the scene.

Individuals from the surrounding area rushed to the location with whatever containers they could find—buckets, cans, and bottles—in an effort to collect the oil. Reports indicated that people of all ages, including women, children, and the elderly, were joining in, demonstrating a community-wide response to the unexpected situation. This spontaneous gathering turned what was initially a mishap into a chaotic but opportunistic scene where individuals competed to fill their containers with the leaked oil.

Meanwhile, the truck driver, who sustained injuries in the incident, was taken to a hospital for treatment. The incident underscores the lengths that people might go to in times of unexpected crises and raises concerns about safety procedures for transporting hazardous materials on public roads.
