Nellore: A worker was killed and five others received severe injuries after a boiler exploded at a chemical factory at Meganuru near Gudur on Monday morning. The deceased was identified as Avinash of the village. The villagers expressed anger over the factory management for setting up the plant without displaying any name and details of operations and were shocked with the explosion which triggered panic among them.
The five injured workers were rushed to a nearby private hospital soon after they were rescued from the spot after the explosion. In fact, the local people blamed the management that it had announced earlier that they would be setting up an ayurvedic pharmaceutical company but now they find carcasses of animals with quite unhygienic conditions prevailing at the plant which turned out to be a bone milling unit.
There is bad odour emanating from the plant frequently, they complained. Recently, some villagers of Meganuru lodged a complaint with local tahsildar asking how an ayurvedic pharma company has been maintaining unsanitary conditions and raised doubts over its operations.
When contacted, Gudur rural police said they had not received any complaint on the incident and men were busy with a programme arranged by local legislator. The constable on duty said they were not having any details of the injured and
the deceased.
