Sri City Boiler Blast Raises Urgent Industrial Safety Concerns

A boiler exploded at a factory in Sri City, and five workers died.

The factory used the boiler to heat chemicals.

It was placed outside the main facility as a safety precaution.

Experts say boilers need regular checks and careful maintenance.

Safety valves must work so they can release extra pressure.

Trained people should operate boilers and watch their water levels.

In this incident, the water level was reportedly not properly monitored.

Experts and workers are calling for more safety audits and training.

The district has also seen more deaths in industrial accidents in recent years.
