Investigation hindered by loss of key personnel in Telangana blast
The investigation into the Sigachi Industries plant explosion near Hyderabad—which claimed 38 lives—is running into serious challenges.
Three key staff members who might have had answers, including the factory manager and deputy general manager, also died in the blast.
This makes it much harder for officials to piece together exactly what went wrong.
Sigachi Industries announces ₹1 crore compensation for each victim's family
Authorities say the probe will take about two weeks, focusing on possible safety lapses or equipment failures that led to a pressure build-up in one of the dryers.
Telangana's Chief Minister has called for a detailed report on this and past incidents, while Sigachi Industries has announced ₹1 crore compensation for each victim's family.
The main priority now is figuring out how such a tragedy can be prevented in the future.
