Deepak Kag, Nana Kag, Subhash Vyas of Petlawad told that as soon as we got the news of the explosion in Bihar, our soul trembled. In front of us again, the terrible scene of 7 years ago came in our mind. That explosion is nothing less than a terrible tragedy for the entire Petlavad. We pray to God that such an accident should not happen again.
How did the horrific blast happen in Petlavad?
Like every morning the people of Petlawad city were busy with their work as per their routine on 12th September 2015 at 8 am. Life was progressing as usual. Some people were having tea and breakfast sitting inside at a restaurant located on Thandla Marg of the city, while some people were standing outside taking sips of tea. Rural vegetable vendors who came from nearby areas were busy setting up their shops on the roadside. At the same time, at 8:15, suddenly smoke started coming out of the warehouse located near the hotel. People called the warehouse owner.
Meanwhile, the shop owner Rathore family started the work of pouring water from buckets with the help of people around. People had gathered here after hearing the incident of fire, during which there was a loud explosion in the illegal warehouse of urea and detonator-gelatin adjoining the restaurant. In which 79 people lost their lives. The explosion was so strong that people’s rags flew far and wide. Most of the people were recognized by their relatives by the marks written on their clothes, hands and feet and the contents of their pockets.
Big mistake of the system, the game of death continues even after the devastation
Significantly, the system’s lapse came to the fore after the Petlavad blast. Rapid action was taken after that accident. But today the game of death continues again. The tragic incident of Petlavad blast makes everyone goosebumps. Gelatin and detonators, which the locals call as Tota, are still easily found in the area.
