10 Dead After Blast at Chemical Factory in India

At least ten people have died following a powerful explosion at a chemical factory in Hyderabad, the capital of Telangana state in southern India.

The incident occurred on Monday when a reactor at a plant owned by Sigachi Industries, a chemical manufacturing company, exploded, sparking a massive fire. According to *India TV*, several fire engines were immediately deployed to contain the blaze and prevent further damage.

Local authorities have launched a full investigation into the cause of the explosion. Initial reports suggest that a breach in industrial safety protocols could be to blame, a recurring issue in India’s manufacturing sector.

Industrial fires in India are unfortunately common, particularly in factories, hospitals, and shopping complexes, where safety regulations are frequently overlooked or poorly enforced.
