A brave police officer from Uttar Pradesh garnered applause and praise for his heroic deed as he ventured inside a burning building in Greater Noida in order to drag out LPG cylinders.
Bilaspur Chowki incharge Akhilesh Dixit walked into the building where the fire had broken out and took out all the LPG cylinders in order to prevent greater damage from a possible cylinder blast.
“Around 3.15 pm the police reached the spot and a crowd was gathered outside the house belonging to Geeta and Phool Singh. Somebody informed the officials that two LPG cylinders with full gas were kept inside the house,” Dankaur SHO, Samresh Singh, said.
He further added:
“After giving a thought to the situation, SI Akhilesh Kumar Dixit quickly arranged a blanket from a neighboring house. He then covered his body with the blanket and barged into the house and came back with the cylinders, preventing any bigger damage.”
