A fire broke out in an asphalt and bitumen manufacturing unit at Taloja MIDC around 10pm on Saturday. Eight workers were injured and have been admitted to National Burns Centre, Airoli, where they are in a critical condition. “Though they are responding, we cannot say anything before 48 hours,” said Dr Sunil Keswani, National Burns Centre.
A pipe blast is suspected to have caused the fire but investigation is on, said officials. “We got a call at 10pm and a team rushed to the site. One of the bitumen manufacturing plants was damaged but the other was saved,” said Taloja MIDC fire officer P V Gund.
A case has been filed in the Taloja police station.
