At least eight workers were killed and dozens more injured after a fire broke out at a chemical plant in northern India, police said on Saturday.
The fire reportedly broke out after a boiler exploded at the factory in the Open area of Uttar Pradesh state, said senior police officer Pravin Kumar.
The injured have been taken to hospital and three of them are in critical condition, he said.
The blast picked up intensity from the factory roof, said Ajay Mishra, a rescue worker.
Authorities ordered an investigation into the incident.
In 2019, a fire caused by a short circuit in a factory in New Delhi that produced bags and other items killed 43 people.
That same year, a fire in an illegal kitchen on the roof of a six-story building killed 17 people, also in New Delhi.
