At least 20 people sustained injuries and were hospitalized following an explosion in a sewage tank at a factory in the Kudikadu area near Mudhunagar in Tamil Nadu’s Cuddalore district late last night. The incident occurred unexpectedly, causing panic among residents in the nearby village. The force of the explosion caused the sewage tank to rupture, leading to a large volume of wastewater flooding the surrounding area.
Several houses in the vicinity were damaged as the contaminated water entered homes, forcing many residents to evacuate. Emergency response teams rushed to the scene, and the injured were immediately taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. Local authorities have begun an investigation to determine the cause of the explosion and assess the extent of the damage. Further details are awaited as officials continue to monitor the situation and assist affected families.
