The Bhoiguda godown tragedy:
Eleven migrant workers were charred to death in a major fire accident at a scrap godown here in the early hours of March 23.
The deceased workers, all hailing from Bihar, were sleeping in a room constructed above the godown at Bhoiguda here when the incident happened, fire and police officials said.
The fire officials received a call at 3.55 am and eight fire tenders were rushed to the spot. The blaze was extinguished by around 7 am, they said.
The workers could not save themselves as there was only one internal spiral staircase, though one person managed to escape after jumping out of the room, they said.
Based on preliminary investigation, a fire official said the blaze started from the scrap godown and spread to the room above. The workers appeared to have tried to escape but soon fell unconscious after inhaling the thick smoke.
