Explosions Rock Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh: Fatalities and Injuries Reported in Chemical and Firecracker Accidents
One person died and at least 17 others were hurt in an explosion at a chemical industry in Jalgaon, Maharashtra. The explosion set the entire plant on fire. Since some people are apparently still trapped inside the factory, further casualties are expected.
In a related event, on Tuesday afternoon, an explosion at a firecracker plant in the Indore region of Madhya Pradesh caused burn injuries to three workers. The explosion occurred in a wooded area.
According to preliminary reports, the factory, located approximately 5 km from Amba Chandan village, had workers producing “sutli” bombs in a shed-like building when there was an explosion, according to Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Umakant Choudhary.
