Details On Rajasthan Chemical Factory Fire

After the information of fire was received, fire tenders reached the spot. A video shared by news agency ANI showed a thick envelope of black smoke engulfing the entire area, creating panic among the locals.

Rajasthan Congress President Calls For Action

Rajasthan Congress President Govind Singh Dotasra said that the government and administration should take immediate action. Moreover, he also slammed the ruling BJP government in the state over the recent incidents of fire in the state.

"After the formation of the government, as you have seen, on Ajmer Road, a chemical tanker was overturned. More than 16 people were killed. In Jaipur, in SMS, in ICU, people were burnt to death... This has become a common thing, but the government is not paying attention to this. This is a very serious matter," Dotasra said.

Meanwhile, just yesterday, two people were killed, and four others were severely injured following a chemical storage tank explosion at a factory near Karekatte village in Karnataka. The facility had been in the process of moving its materials from Karekatte to a new location for some time now, and the accident occurred on Sunday while the chemical tank was being cleared.
