At least three people were killed and 15 injured after a series of blasts followed by a fire ripped through a pharmaceutical factory in Maharashtra's Palghar on Thursday. The blasts occurred in 25 solvent drums due to an exothermic reaction, preliminary reports claim. "It's clear that the said unit did not follow any safety precautions," District Collector Prashant Narnaware said.
