The explosion happened in a part of the factory that uses special machines to turn raw materials into powder for making medicines.

Because of the explosion, some workers got hurt badly, and a few of them died later in the hospital. The fire department found many bodies burned in the factory, and they are still trying to find if anyone else is trapped inside.

There was a big explosion and fire at a medicine-making factory in India, in a place called Telangana. Sadly, 42 people have died so far, but more might be found as workers look through the rubble. Earlier today, it was reported that 34 people had died, but now the number has gone up.

The factory where the explosion happened is called Sigachi Industries. It makes ingredients used in medicines and vitamins.

The Prime Minister of India said he was very sad about the accident and announced that the families of the workers who died will get a financial help of 2 lakh rupees (which is a lot of money).

India makes a lot of medicines and vaccines that are used all over the world. But sometimes, accidents happen in factories that make chemicals and medicines, which can be dangerous. That’s why safety rules are very important.
