One of the deceased was brought dead at the L G Hospital and other was declared dead on arrival at the V S Hospital. The condition of seven injured was reported to be serious, said the sources. Fire officials have controlled the blaze that occurred due to a 'blast' and several huts were totally gutted in the blaze, they said. Senior inspector of Danilimda Police J J Patel said, "The fire does not appear to be one that was caused by a gas cylinder blast but rather that of a crude device explosion that could have been lying among a heap of garbage nearby."
He said officials were still investigating the real cause of the fire and that forensic officials would also investigate. Bureau Report
