When a fire broke out at the Nandan denim factory in Narol, a major textile hub in Ahmedabad in Gujarat, seven workers died of burns and asphyxiation. The fire started in the factory’s shirting division on the roof and quickly engulfed the building.
Workers found it difficult to exit the factory premises because there was only one door on the top floor accessible by a ladder. There weren’t the emergency water sources to douse the flames either.
The fire took place on February 8 last year. A subsequent report by the Forensic Science Laboratory and Fire. . .
