Chemical powder spilled on the road after a tank exploded at a factory in the Tivim Industrial Estate on Saturday morning. No one was hurt in the incident.
The incident took place at about 11.30 am when the tank containing the chemical powder exploded and the power spilled on the road outside the factory.
The company quickly deployed water tankers and workers to wash and clean the road to prevent motorists and pedestrians from skidding on the road.
When contacted, the company did not reveal how the accident took place.
“The powder that spilled on the road has been cleaned and nobody has had any adverse effect on account of the accident,” claimed an official of the company.
