Kumbakonam, Nov 1, 2013 (Zee News): At least nine people died and up to five suffered burns on Friday in a fire in the cracker factory in Kumbakonam, Tamil Nadu.
According to reports, the workers were inside the factory when the fire started after the crackers exploded suddenly. The fire has been doused now and those who were injured have been rushed to nearby hospital, police said.
It is yet to be ascertained what was the cause of the fire.
