Gujarat Pharma Plant Boiler Blast Kills 2, Injures 25
A big explosion happened at a medicine factory in Gujarat early Wednesday morning.
The explosion was so strong it knocked down a building and damaged nearby factories.
Sadly, two workers died, and 25 others were hurt.
Rescuers are still looking for a third person who might be trapped.
The reason for the explosion is not yet known.
Some villagers are concerned the company might have been operating without the right permits and that the roads are too narrow for emergency vehicles.
Two workers were killed and 25 injured in a boiler blast at a pharma company in Gujarat's Bharuch district.
The explosion occurred around 3 am at the Vishal Pharma solvent plant.
The blast caused a building collapse and damaged nearby factories, injuring workers in adjacent units.
A search is ongoing for a third person feared dead in the debris.
