THE LATEST NEWS AN EMPTY OIL TANKER TURNED TURTLE En route ABU ROAD. 

Charles's guide from Mount Abu just spoke to me. He said an empty oil tanker had turned turtle while driving down. The tanker hit the outer guard wall of the road and went down. THE COLLECTOR the SDM and the police FROM ABU ROAD AND MOUNT ABU WERE ON THE SCENE. They have rushed the driver to the hospital for immediate treatment. His co-assistant did not make it he died on the impact. Charles and the team of forest personnel have moved up towards Aarna. He said the cranes would take about an hour to begin hauling out the tanker.
Will update you as soon as I get news?
Today 17 April 2017
Receive an update via WhatsApp. The forest fire is still not contained, and it is spreading rapidly and uncontrollably. Currently, it has crossed Aarna and Hanuman Temple. IT WILL TAKE A FEW MORE DAYS TO SUBSIDE.
Abuites are being supportive more than 150 volunteers have supplied the various firefighting teams with morning tea, biscuits and packaged drinking water. Afternoon lunch they have supplied packets via 250 volunteers. The number of volunteers has substantially increased and there is an all-out effort by the denizens to aid in trying to contain the burning inferno.



Received a phone call from Charles who's at Aarna. Charles called me from Aarna and told me that they had finally contained the fires at Mount Abu. I'm posting via my mobile as I'm waiting on the Sabarmati station. 
The train is 50 minutes late. I'm posting a photograph of the station 🚉 is deserted. 



Abuites, especially the folks who have been battling the fires for the last few days, can dose themselves with some welcoming nectar of the gods and have the RoCkInG sleep they deserve.
