Four workers were charred to death in a fire that broke out in a rubber factory in Gaganpahad area this morning.
According to preliminary reports, leakage from a pipeline supplying hot liquid chemical resulted in the blaze that spread to one of the rest rooms in the factory premises where the workers were sleeping.
“It seems the melted rubber fell on the workers and they were burnt alive. One fire tanker was sent to the area and the fire was put off at around 6.45 a.m. but four were left dead in the mishap,” a fire officer said.
According to Shamshabad police, the pipeline passed atop the roof of the rest rooms and when the fire spread some workers escaped while four were trapped in the room which was engulfed in flames.
