Jhabua, Madhya Pradesh: Over 80
people died and nearly 100 were
injured as a powerful gas cylinder
explosion ripped through a restaurant
near Madhya Pradesh's Jhabua district
today.
According to senior police officials,
gelatine sticks used in mining stored in
a house next to the restaurant added
to the intensity of the blast. As a
result, the two-storey building
housing the restaurant collapsed and
several adjacent buildings suffered
damages.
The explosion at Sethiya Restaurant,
situated in a residential area near a
bus stand in Petlawad, over 300 kms
from the state capital, happened
around 9 this morning.
The death toll rose after rescuers
recovered more bodies from the debris
of the shattered restaurant and
surrounding buildings. As many as 20
of those injured are believed to be in
critical condition.
 
"The restaurant was located in a
tightly packed locality where a lot of
people were having breakfast, that is
why the casualties are so high," senior
district police official Seema Alava said.
Another district police official cited the
restaurant's proximity to a busy bus
stand as the reason for the high
number of casualties.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj
Singh Chouhan announced a
compensation of Rs 2 lakh for the
families of those killed and Rs 50,000
for those injured.
"The Jhabua tragedy is heart
wrenching. I offer my condolences to
the families of the victims and pray for
the speedy recovery of those injured,"
he said. source
