Workers Raise Concerns Over Missing Colleagues
A worker expressed concern regarding the explosion at Detox India Company, stating that around 10 to 12 people are missing. Reports from inside the company suggest that some bodies have not been found and might have perished in the blast.
The incident occurred between 11:30 AM and 12:00 PM, but the search for the missing workers is still ongoing, and their whereabouts remain unknown.
Bodies are being recovered gradually, and one was even found in a nearby forest, about 100 meters from the explosion site. Workers question how a body could be thrown such a distance and why only one has been recovered while the fate of the other 10 to 12 people remains uncertain. They allege that the company might be trying to conceal the full extent of the tragedy, as no clear information is being provided.
Allegations of Delayed Disclosure of Bodies by the Company
A worker accused the company of slowly revealing only a few bodies—three or four so far. He questioned what would happen to the bodies of those whose relatives are not present to claim them. The worker expressed frustration, demanding that the company provide clear information about what happened, how many people were involved, and how many died.
Given the severity of the explosion, he doubts that anyone could have survived. The grim recovery process has yielded dismembered body parts, including hands, legs, necks, and lower torsos, raising serious concerns about the full scale of the tragedy.
