On May 1, a reactor explosion at a pharmaceutical plant in Nalgonda district, Telangana, led to the death of one worker and injuries to seven others. The blast occurred in the afternoon on the first floor of the two-storey facility, where ten employees were present. Following the explosion, six injured workers were transferred to a super-speciality hospital in Hyderabad for advanced medical care. Tragically, one of the injured succumbed to his injuries, believed to have been sustained after he jumped from the second floor to escape the blast. The remaining injured individuals are reported to be in stable condition. Authorities are currently investigating the cause of the explosion. Notably, this incident follows a fire accident at the same plant in April, which resulted in injuries to two workers, both of whom have since recovered.
