An explosion at a leading yarn manufacturing plant in Ulhasnagar left two workers dead and six injured, while two others are still missing. 

According to officials, the incident occurred at around 11.30 am at the Century Rayon factory in Ulhasnagar, while Carbon Disulphide (CS2), a highly volatile and flammable liquid compound, was being filled in tanks already containing nitrogen. Officials said that the shock waves of the blast were felt up to two kilometres in the area, right up to the railway track crossing in Shahad.
