Six workers were injured after LPG cylinders exploded inside an industrial unit in Bhosari MIDC, Pune, on Saturday, November 29. A major tragedy was averted due to the swift response of the Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation’s fire brigade in one of Pune’s largest industrial hubs.

A sudden LPG leak at the Ambika Powder Coating unit triggered a fire that was contained within minutes, preventing it from spreading to adjoining units. One worker sustained serious burns, while five others suffered minor injuries. All were given first aid and shifted to a nearby hospital, fire officials said.
