A firecracker factory explosion in West Bengal’s Nadia district injured a number of persons on Friday. The plant was located in a densely populated Kalyani neighborhood. The explosion was so powerful that it destroyed the entire firecracker factory.
The injured have been taken to the hospital, and emergency services are looking into the cause. The fire is being controlled by firefighters. There is concern that the number of fatalities could increase.
As authorities attempted to protect the area and stop any accidents, firefighters battled to put down the fire that resulted from the explosion.
The Kalyani police station’s police and fire department are on the scene. The explosion is causing terror among the locals. When creating pyrotechnics, the police initially believe that a short circuit started the fire. The explosion was caused by this. After being informed, firefighters arrived at the location. They managed to contain the fire.
The explosion caused the factory wall to collapse. To find out if anyone was trapped in it, a rescue effort is underway. Investigations are underway to determine the precise cause of the explosion. They’re analyzing the scene.
In recent years, firecracker companies in the state have experienced explosions. A horrifying explosion at an illicit firework factory in Egra, East Midnapore, in 2023 claimed the lives of at least nine individuals.
A firecracker factory at Bajbaj, South 24 Parganas, and Dattapukur, North 24 Parganas, both exploded during the commotion around that. There were also at least seven fatalities. The most recent addition to that list is Kalyani.
