Hyderabad: A significant explosion occurred at the premier explosives facility in Pedda Kandukuru, Yadagirigutta Mandal on Saturday, January 4, resulting in the death of one worker and injuries to at least seven others.
The deceased man has been identified as Kanakayya who succumbed to his injuries while undergoing treatment.
The incident reportedly took place when a reactor exploded, creating a loud noise that prompted workers to flee in panic.
The company management immediately activated an emergency siren following the blast.
The explosion was powerful enough to cause the building to collapse, and emergency services quickly arrived on the scene to assist.
The injured workers were transported to a hospital in Bhuvanagiri for treatment. Reports indicate that this is not the first incident at this facility; a previous explosion had resulted in a worker’s death.
The health status of the injured workers, particularly Kanakayya and Prakash, remains critical.
