Now, the media confirmed that the Chemist Srinivas has been dead due to this major mishap that occurred inside the reactor when the employees were about to collect the samples. Earlier a Watsapp video went viral that Chemist Srinivas went missing and many deemed that he was dead. Right now, his family started protesting in front of the blasted plant.

The government yet to declare about the death of Chemist Srinivas and so far, in a statement, AP Minister for Industries Gautam Reddy said major casualties were averted as there were only four employees at the time of the mishap.

There was panic in the localities near the blast site as the explosions could be heard in a radius of two kilometers. Of course, half a dozen fire engines couldn’t reach the affected site earlier but the rain at midnight helped them very much in putting out the fire.
