An oil tanker overturned on NH-26 in Jeypore affecting vehicular movement on Tuesday morning.
The driver of the tanker, which was heading towards Visakhapatnam from Raipur, lost control over the wheels, following which it turned turtle, resulting in leakage of oil from the vehicle.
Later, the tanker was repositioned with the help of a crane in the presence of Fire Services personnel, who rushed to the spot on being informed.
Many vehicles remained stranded on both sides of the road. As many as five vehicles carrying midday meals for students of around 50 schools also got stuck on the road, due to which the food could not be served to the students in time.
The portion of the road was cordoned off by police to avoid any untoward incident.
