According to officials, two workers who were unloading 200 litres of chemical solvents to the storage shed of the Niramal Chemical factory triggered the fire due to a spark. The workers escaped with minor burns.
Eight fire tenders took over four hours to completely douse the fire. “The chemical solvents exploded due to the fire, which spread to a nearby storage unit. The property damages will be close to Rs 1 crore,” said V Srinivas, district fire officer.
