In yet another industrial accident, an explosion was reported in a boiler of an oil refinery in Haryana’s Panipat on Monday. The blast has left at least two people dead while over six others suffered critical injuries and were immediately shifted to a local hospital.
The police is conducting an investigation into the cause of the blast. Boiler blasts have become a common occurrence in the recent past, primarily due to lack of adherence to safety norms by operating companies. In December, a boiler blast at Sasa Musa sugar mill in Bihar’s Gopalganj claimed at least five lives, while several others were left injured. In an earlier accident at NTPC plant in Uttar Pradesh’s Rae Bareli at leats 46 people were killed.
