The explosion triggered a massive fire, with flames and thick smoke quickly spreading across the factory premises. Workers and nearby labourers rushed out in fear as the fire intensified. Two fire engines were immediately deployed to the scene to control the blaze. Ambulances transported the injured to nearby hospitals. Locals and workers from neighbouring units gathered at the factory as news of the accident spread. Officials fear that the death toll could increase further as rescue operations continue. Efforts are underway to trace any workers who might be trapped inside the gutted premises. The exact cause of the explosion is yet to be ascertained, the officials said.
The condition of many of the injured workers is said to be serious. More details are awaited as rescue and relief operations are underway. The incident unfolded along Cherlapally Road, where the tanker had been stationed beside several vehicles loaded with highly flammable LPG cylinders. According to officials, the blaze broke out after the tanker’s battery exploded, triggering panic in the area and raising fears of a massive fireball if the flames had reached the gas-laden trucks.
