Muzaffarnagar: Four people, including a woman, were severely injured when a boiler blasted in a pharma factory located in the densely populated Kotwali area here on Saturday morning. The blast was so strong that a part of the roof of the building came crashing down.
Owner of the factory, Deepak Kumar, claimed, “It was not a blast but a minor fire had erupted.”
The factory, located in the residential Amba Vihar colony under city police station area, has been running for several years. It has 100 employees, including women, working in it.
Ramashankar Tripathi, circle officer of the fire department, said, “The factory is not registered with the fire department and no safety norms were being followed. Strict action will be taken against the factory management, and it will be removed from the residential area.”
Now, the administration has demanded that the factory’s legal documents be presented before it.
