According to reports, the fireworks factory was running illegally in a heavily populated area. A sudden fire followed by a massive explosion engulfed the entire house. The injured people were brought to SMS Hospital for treatment. Doctors say the victims are in critical condition and efforts are underway to save them.

Upon receiving information about the accident, the district administration immediately swung into action. Fire engines and a Civil Defense team were dispatched to the scene.
