Tragic Oniro Blast in Vadodara: Bodies Accepted After Written Assurance, Three Workers Killed
In Padra taluka of Vadodara district, a recent blast at a private company, Oniro Company, near Ekalbara village, has caused distress and tragedy. The explosion resulted in injuries to four workers, who were promptly shifted to a private hospital. Unfortunately, three of the workers succumbed to their injuries, while one is currently undergoing treatment.
The aftermath of the incident saw a difficult situation unfold as the family initially refused to accept the deceased workers’ bodies. However, the company has now provided a written guarantee of assistance to the grieving family members who have agreed to accept the bodies. Following the completion of post-mortem procedures, the bodies will be transported to their respective hometowns for the final rites.
In response to the incident, Vadodara Collector and company representatives have collaborated to extend assistance, pledging a sum of Rs. 25 lakhs to the affected families. Discussions with the families were held, and subsequently, the Padra Police facilitated the transportation of the deceased workers’ bodies to Sayaji Hospital for post-mortem examinations.
