The company has announced a compensation of ₹30 lakh each for the bereaved families.

The blast, which took place at around 12:30 PM, tragically killed workers Yolesh Ram from Sarangpur, Mukesh Singh from Bihar, Harinath Yadav from Uttar Pradesh, and Ashok Ramhukam.

The explosion was so severe that one of the victims' bodies was found far outside the company premises.

As news of the accident spread, fellow workers gathered outside the company premises, demanding adequate compensation for the victims’ families.

Following prolonged negotiations and interventions by local MLA Chaitar Vasava, the company issued a late-night statement assuring compensation of ₹30 lakh for each family.

MLA Vasava, who was present at the site until late at night, played a crucial role in ensuring the families received fair compensation.

The tragic incident has once again raised concerns about workplace safety measures, particularly in hazardous industrial zones like Ankleshwar GIDC.

Authorities and safety experts are expected to investigate the cause of the blast, and workers are calling for stricter adherence to safety protocols to prevent such incidents in the future.
