Blast in Alot House Injures Two, Sparks Protest
In a place called Alot in Madhya Pradesh, a house caught fire and then exploded on Monday night.
Two young men who were nearby got hurt and had to go to the hospital.
The people who live there are very upset because they say the government didn't fix the drains for a long time, which caused the explosion.
They protested and asked for the drains to be fixed properly and for the people responsible to be punished.
A government official came to look at the problem and said he would investigate, but the residents are upset that nothing was done earlier.
A house in Shivdham Colony, Alot, caught fire and exploded on Monday night, injuring two youths.
Residents protested against civic negligence, alleging blocked drains caused the blast.
