Cooking Cylinder Leak Causes Fire Injuring Four Migrant Workers

In a tragic incident early Friday morning, four migrant workers sustained burns after a cooking gas leak caused a fire at their residence near Puthiyangadi harbor, according to police reports.

The victims, all hailing from Odisha, were attempting to prepare breakfast when the room was engulfed in flames due to the mishap.

The workers are currently receiving treatment at Pariyaram Medical College Hospital. Initial investigations suggest the gas stove was not turned off properly the night before, leading to an accumulation of gas that ignited when they tried to cook.
