The worker, identified as Ramesh, lost his life in an explosion that also left two other workers injured.

Authorities have confirmed the fatality and are investigating the incident to determine the cause of the explosion. Mandya’s superintendent of police, N Yatish, and other officials visited the site to assess the situation and ensure appropriate measures are taken following the tragic event.
The accident occurred while Ramesh was preparing materials for transportation to another work location, highlighting the dangers faced by workers in such industries. The loss of life and injuries sustained serve as a reminder of the risks associated with working in environments where hazardous materials are handled.
