Ahmedabad Firecracker Factory Blaze Claims 10 Lives After Illegal Reopening

A massive blaze broke out at a firecracker factory in Ahmedabad after the premises were reopened without permission, according to local authorities. The factory had been sealed earlier due to safety violations, but it was found operating illegally when the fire started. The explosion and subsequent fire resulted in the deaths of ten people, many of whom were workers inside the facility. Firefighters and police rushed to the scene, but the intense heat and toxic fumes made rescue operations difficult. Investigations are underway to determine the cause of the fire and to hold those responsible for the illegal reopening accountable.
