1 Killed, 10 Injured in Deadly Explosion at Eatery in Shimla
A fatal blast occurred at the Himachali Rasoi restaurant in Shimla, India, on Tuesday evening, resulting in one death and 10 injuries. The explosion damaged several nearby shops and houses, causing shattered windows.
Prompt action was taken by the fire brigade due to the restaurant's proximity to their office. Locals suspect a cylinder blast as the cause, and investigations are ongoing.
The blast occurred at around 7:30 p.m. local time. The victim, who has not been identified, was a cook at the restaurant. The 10 injured were taken to the Indira Gandhi Medical College Hospital in Shimla, where they are being treated for burns and other injuries.
The explosion also damaged several shops and houses in the vicinity. The windows of several shops and houses were shattered, and some of the roofs were damaged.
The fire brigade was able to quickly extinguish the fire, but the damage to the restaurant and the surrounding area was extensive.
The cause of the blast is still under investigation, but locals suspect that it was caused by a gas leak. The police are also investigating the possibility of sabotage.
This is the second fatal blast in Shimla in recent months. In May, a blast at a hotel killed two people and injured several others.
The government has ordered an inquiry into the latest blast, and has promised to take steps to ensure that such incidents do not happen again.
