Fire claimed the lives of 35 people
Another cylinder explosion took place in December of last year in the Rajasthani village of Bhungra, Shergarh division, Jodhpur district, resulting in a fire that injured close to 50 people. The fire claimed the lives of 35 people who had come to take part in a wedding ritual. Following the gas cylinder tragedy, the Rajasthani government agreed to pay Rs 17 lakh to the dependents of the deceased, Rs 5 lakh to the injured, and to offer a contract job to the dependent member of the deceased. These tragic occurrences emphasise how crucial safety precautions are when working with gas cylinders. To ensure public safety and avoid similar occurrences in the future, the authorities should take the necessary action.
