An explosion at an illegal factory in India, in the state of Uttar Pradesh, resulted in the death of at least 11 people. The incident occurred at an industrial unit that operated without the proper licenses and legal authorizations.
The Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, announced financial compensation of 1,800 euros for the families of each fatal victim of the accident. Additionally, Modi promised support to those injured in the explosion.
The factory was operating illegally at the time of the incident, which raises questions about the inspection and regulation of industrial units in the region. Local authorities will need to investigate the circumstances that allowed the operation of an unlicensed factory.
