Nine Injured in Bengaluru PG Gas Cylinder Blast

Nine Injured in Bengaluru PG Gas Cylinder Blast

Nine workers from West Bengal were hurt in a big explosion at their rented accommodation in Bengaluru.

The explosion happened early in the morning because of a gas leak in the kitchen.

The workers had closed all the windows to keep mosquitoes out, which trapped the gas inside.

The explosion was very strong and broke many windows and doors.

All the workers are in the hospital with bad burns, but doctors say they are stable.

The police are checking if the gas cylinder and pipes were safe.

The building owner and the person who runs the accommodation are being investigated because many workers were living in one small room, which might not be safe.
