Additionally, seven police officers who were attempting to put out the fire suffered burn injuries.
Before daybreak on Sunday, in the Shahganj neighbourhood of the city police station area, family members of one Anil Goswami were preparing prasad for Chhath Puja when some gas cylinders caught fire. Due to a gas leak that resulted from this, a sizable fire broke out and grew despite all villagers’ attempts to put it out.
Upon learning of the situation, the police and fire department crews hurried to the scene and attempted to put it out. When the cops threw water at the cylinder, the fire became worse and there was a loud cylinder boom that gravely injured around 30 persons.
The Aurangabad Sadar Hospital saw a flood of injured patients requiring medical attention.
Many are receiving therapy and have been admitted to nursing homes.
Although the government has not yet acknowledged the origin of the incident, according to the home’s owner, Anil Goswami, the fire began as a result of a gas explosion, according to Sub-Inspector Vinay Kumar Singh of the city police station.
Police are looking into the situation.
