Indane gas cylinder
Major Mishandling of Gas Cylinders

I witnessed this on Sunday 30 Nov around 1pm just next to Shriram Shrishti apartments on Sumangali Sevashram Road, Anand Nagar, Bangalore. The residents there tell me that this is a regular occurrence.

A truckload of Indane gas cylinders arrives and is unloaded on the roadside for further distribution. The person unloading picks up a cylinder from the truck and throws it hard on the tar road. This happens cylinder after cylinder, each cylinder is thrown hard on the road and then picked up by another person who rolls in into place. There is no attempt to soften the blow, on the contrary, the effort seems to be to throw it as hard as possible. Does Indane have any standard cylinder handling practices which are being violated here, and if not, then is Indane certain that this type of handing will not increases chances of the cylinder behaving dangerously?
