MUMBAI: Three persons were killed and two others injured in an explosion at an industrial unit in Vasai on Tuesday.
The unit's owner and manager have been booked, but no arrests have been made yet. The incident took place around 7.45am when five labourers were waiting outside the unit for their supervisor to arrive. The unit, Nakoda Extrusion, hadn't opened for work as the supervisor only arrives by 8 am. It is an aluminium profiles manufacturing unit, located at Sheetal Swapna Industrial Estate.
"As part of the manufacturing process, material has to be heated upto 200 degrees in large boilers inside the unit. So, for three nights a week, the boilers are kept running overnight. This was done on Monday night. It appears that the pressure in the boilers increased and led to the explosion," said a senior police official from Thane rural.
There was a deafening sound and the five labourers were flung to a distance due to the impact.
Two of the labourers, Sudhir Yadav (33) and Nirmal (34), died on the spot, while the third worker, Kanhaiya (30), succumbed to his injuries. Their bodies were sent for an autopsy.
Two other labourers, Praful and Kailash, suffered injuries. While Praful suffered leg fractures, Kailash sustained injuries to his eye. The police are probing the exact cause of the incident. A probe is also being conducted as to whether LPG gas cylinders were being illegally used.
"No fire fighting equipment was installed in the unit. We have registered a case under section 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder), section 285 (negligent conduct with respect to fire or combustible matter), section 338 (causing grievous hurt) of the IPC. The owner, Jeevan Jain, and the unit manager, Jeetu Chanchad, have been booked," an official said.
Senior officials from the Directorate of Industrial Safety and Health ( DISH), Vasai, visited the site on Tuesday.
