Kakinada, Aug 19, 2022: Two people died and six others were injured after an explosion occurred at a sugar refinery in Andhra Pradesh’s Kakinada district on Friday afternoon, August 19.
The refinery was located in the Vakalapudi area near Kakinada city. According to the preliminary investigations, the fire was probably triggered by a short circuit at the conveyer belt where the sugar bags are packed.
The injured have been shifted to Kakinada Government Hospital and are being treated. One injured person, who is reportedly in critical condition, was admitted to a private hospital for advanced treatment.
Kakinada Rural MLA K Kannababu and district Superintendent of Police M Ravindranath Babu visited the sugar plant and supervised the rescue operation.
