Authorities assume that the accident could have been a result of the improper handling of materials at the unit, but investigations are still underway.
Superintendent of Police Rahul Meena claims that the factory in which the fire ignited was a licensed one. A total of six bodies have been found till now. We are still trying to identify the bodies. There was preliminary data that it was a licensed unit, Meena said. The two injured individuals are shifted to a local hospital immediately to receive treatment, and their conditions are closely monitored.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister, N. Chandrababu Naidu, condemned the incident and ordered top officials to go to the area of the tragedy to preside over relief and rehabilitation works. A fire incident at Bana Sancha manufacturing facility of Rayavaram in Konaseema district has led to unimaginable sorrow in terms of the loss of a number of lives. I have also talked to the authorities about the cause of the accident, how it is being managed, relief being given, and the medical help being offered at the moment.
Fire and emergency response teams, local authorities, came to the rescue as soon as the incident had been documented. The fire origin is being investigated, and, at first, there are signs of the possibility that the work with it could have been mishandled or that the safety measures were not taken properly. Police and emergency teams are also liaising with the factory management to make sure that all the safety measures are reexamined, and to avoid such accidents in future.
The accident has also devastated the Konaseema district, and the safety standards in the industry that handles explosive materials should be followed to the letter. There are relief efforts as well as aiding the families of the victims.
