Petrol pumps are no strangers to safety warnings, with clear signs prohibiting the use of phones, lighting matches, or smoking to prevent accidents. These measures are critical, as petrol and diesel are highly flammable substances that can ignite instantly. Yet, some individuals blatantly disregard these warnings, engaging in dangerous behaviours that defy common sense.
A recent video, now making rounds on social media, has left viewers both shocked and angered. The clip captures a group of individuals warming their hands around a bonfire—right at a petrol pump. The exact location and date of the incident remain unknown.
The video was shared on X (formerly Twitter) by the handle ‘@terakyalenadena,’ accompanied by the caption: “Pura Highway samaj Dara hua hai.” Within four days, the post has amassed over 239,000 views, sparking widespread criticism.
In the footage, a group can be seen sitting near a blazing fire they lit at the pump. The act, which blatantly disregards basic safety protocols, has been labelled reckless and dangerous by many netizens.
