In the tragic accident, one worker died, and around a dozen were injured when a steam boiler of the ammonia gas plant of Indian Farmers Fertilizer Cooperative Limited (IFFCO) located at Phulpur, around 25km from the Prayagraj district, exploded on Tuesday afternoon.
Senior officials of IFFCO said the rescue operation began immediately and the injured were rushed to hospital. Around 8 ambulances of ‘108 service’ and 1 ALS ambulance were also pressed into service, claimed officials.
An investigation into what caused the blast has also begun, they added.

They demanded immediate compensation to the relatives of the deceased and injured workers. Heavy force was deployed outside IFFCO as a precautionary measure.

Around half a dozen laborers have been referred to Swarup Rani Hospital (SRN). The condition of two workers is serious.”
