A fire at a chemical factory in Dombivali near Mumbai, India, resulted in at least 9 deaths and 64 injuries, with rescuers searching for more victims among the debris. The explosion in the factory's boiler caused a fire that spread to nearby areas in Maharashtra state's Thane district. The cause of the explosion is under investigation, and charges of culpable homicide have been filed against the factory owners due to negligence in handling toxic substances. This incident highlights the challenges of poor safety standards and lax enforcement of regulations in India, where fires are common due to cost-cutting measures and negligence in safety practices.
