by Aditi VermaA milk tanker overturned in central India’s Madhya Pradesh. Following the accident, locals rushed to collect milk from the tanker, filling their containers as the spillage spread.
The incident took place near the entrance gate, one kilometer away from Boda town in Rajgarh district on October 20.
