Tragic Explosion in Hyderabad: What We Know So Far
A devastating explosion at an illegal fireworks warehouse in Hyderabad has left the community reeling. On [insert date], around 4 PM, a powerful blast shook the area near Leghari Goth, resulting in at least four confirmed fatalities and several injuries. The explosion was so intense that it not only collapsed the building but also sent debris flying across agricultural fields.
First responders arrived swiftly on the scene, with local resident volunteers joining rescue teams from the Edhi Foundation and Rescue 1122. Tragically, four bodies have already been recovered from the rubble, and five individuals were rushed to the hospital, with four of them suffering severe burn injuries. The initial chaos saw more explosions occurring as remaining firecrackers within the warehouse continued to detonate.
Eyewitnesses reported that this facility, located near UC-99, was often staffed by workers from nearby Kolhi Goth and housed around seven to eight individuals at any given time. The warehouse operated covertly, posing a significant risk to public safety, especially given its proximity to populated areas. It’s worth noting that had this warehouse been in a residential zone, the tragedy might have escalated dramatically.
Hyderabad’s Deputy Commissioner, Zain-ul-Abideen, and Assistant Commissioner Saud Baloch were quick to oversee rescue operations and called for a thorough investigation into how such hazardous operations could take place without detection. The authorities are now on a mission to locate the warehouse owner and track the illegal supply chain of fireworks in the region. “Our immediate priority is rescue,” Zain-ul-Abideen stated, emphasizing the need for safety in the face of such tragedies. Community members have been urged to report any suspicious activities related to illegal fireworks storage to prevent future incidents.
In light of this disaster, Sindh’s Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah has also demanded a comprehensive report and pledged to ensure that the injured receive the best medical care available. He promised that strict actions would follow against those who knowingly allowed such dangerous activities.
