The fire spread rapidly from the ground floor to the first due to machinery and goods in the plant. The company has suffered a big loss in the incident, added Yadav.
Earlier in January this year, at least two people were killed while two others sustained injuries after a chemical tanker exploded in the Sadar area of Panipat. The explosion was so severe that the shop's roof was completely damaged.
