AP CM Chadrababu Naidu said stringent action will be taken against every official for negligence which led to disastrous incident at Nagaram village where women, children, aged have been hit by the volcanic fire and heat in the early hours when most of them were asleep.
Naidu today cancelled all of his appointments at Delhi and is rushing back to Rajahmundry by a direct special flight along with Union petroleum and finance ministers. Petroleum minister Pradhan who is accompanying Chandrababu said the fire after the explosion had been contained and gas flow in pipeline will be stopped temporarily. Prime Minister Modi has announced an ex gratia of Rs. two lakh for the dead and Rs.50,000 for the injured.
The gas pipeline explosion was a ghastly wake up call for the sleepy villagers of Nagaram where 14 villagers including two children and three aged persons were burnt alive in the fire which spread across the village after the explosion. Fifty houses, shops and hundreds of coconut plants have been charred in the fire.
