Patiala Gas Agency Blast: A devastating explosion rocked the Shamsher Gas Agency, located just three kilometers from Nabha, at around 6:30 PM yesterday evening, leaving several people severely injured and causing widespread panic in the area.
The explosion, described as being extremely powerful, occurred at a time when seven to eight employees were working at the gas agency. The blast was so intense that fragments of the gas cylinder were propelled as far as a kilometer away, creating a dangerous radius around the site. The shockwave from the blast was felt by residents in nearby areas, and many of them rushed outside in fear.
Five to seven individuals were reported to have suffered severe burns. The exact number of those critically injured has not yet been confirmed, but the scale of the explosion suggests significant damage.
Earlier today, a devastating fire broke out at a restaurant-cum-club in North Goa's Arpora, claiming 25 lives and leaving several others injured. The incident occurred around midnight, with emergency teams rushing to the scene to control the blaze.
