Explosion – Radiator Blast Triggers Major Fire at Telangana Laboratory
Explosion – A powerful explosion at a private laboratory in Telangana’s Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district triggered a major fire on Saturday, prompting a large-scale emergency response. Officials confirmed that the incident occurred in Dotigudem village, which falls under the jurisdiction of Choutuppal Police Station. Fortunately, no injuries or fatalities have been reported so far.
Blast Reported Inside Private Laboratory
According to preliminary information from fire department authorities, the explosion took place at Brundavan Laboratories Pvt Ltd. The incident is believed to have been caused by a radiator malfunction inside the facility, which led to a sudden and intense blast. The force of the explosion sparked a fire that quickly spread within parts of the laboratory premises.
Local residents reported hearing a loud noise that could be felt across nearby areas, raising immediate alarm. Emergency services were alerted soon after the explosion occurred.
Swift Fire Department Response
In response to the emergency, ten fire engines were dispatched to the site without delay. Firefighters worked for several hours to contain and extinguish the flames. Officials stated that the fire was eventually brought under control, preventing it from spreading to adjacent structures.
The coordinated effort by the fire department ensured that the situation did not escalate further. Police personnel also reached the location to secure the area and regulate movement around the affected premises.
No Casualties Reported
Authorities have confirmed that no casualties have been recorded in connection with the incident. Workers and staff present at the laboratory were reportedly evacuated promptly after the blast, which helped avoid injuries.
Medical teams were kept on standby as a precautionary measure, though no one required hospitalization. Officials described this as a significant relief given the intensity of the explosion and subsequent fire.
Cause of Explosion Under Investigation
While initial reports suggest a radiator blast may have triggered the explosion, officials have clarified that the exact cause is yet to be conclusively determined. A detailed technical inspection of the site is expected to be carried out to assess structural damage and identify the precise sequence of events.
Fire department representatives indicated that safety compliance and equipment condition within the laboratory will also be examined as part of the investigation. Authorities have not ruled out any possibilities at this stage.
Further Details Awaited
As of now, officials are continuing their assessment of the situation. More information is expected once investigators complete a thorough review of the affected facility. The district administration is monitoring developments closely and is likely to issue additional statements as clarity emerges.
The incident has drawn attention to industrial safety standards and emergency preparedness in laboratory and manufacturing environments. However, authorities have urged the public to avoid speculation until the official findings are released.
