One killed, 15 injured in pharma unit blast

Thanks to Mr Satya Subrahmanyam for sending news about this incident.

One killed, 15 injured in pharma unit blast:

Immediately after the explosion, ammonia gas leaked and a woman was among the 15 affected. “Ramakrishna’s lungs were filled with the gas and he died before we could shift him to a hospital,” said DCP
From the photo in the article, it is eerily similar to a CSB case study where an ammonia exchanger exploded due to overpressurisation as its safety valve was blocked.
