Five including two children die in firecracker shop blaze in Jharkhand’s Garhwa. The deceased have been identified as Kush Kumar Gupta, Ajit Kumar Kesari, Sushila Kerketta, Ayush Kumar Kesar, and Piyush Kumarkesar. The fire broke out suddenly, triggering an explosion that caused the shop’s shutter to close. Despite efforts to douse the flames using buckets and water tankers, the fire had already engulfed the shop. In a desperate rescue attempt, people broke through a wall to retrieve those trapped inside. However, all five victims had already succumbed to suffocation. The Governor described the incident as \”heart-wrenching\” and extended condolences to the bereaved families. The case is being investigated by the district administration. The death toll is expected to rise as more bodies are recovered from the scene. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined, officials said. The shop was reduced to ashes by the time the fire brigade arrived from the district headquarters. A motorcycle parked outside was also completely burnt.
