Jagan slams TDP-led AP govt for ‘negligence’ over pharma company blast

Former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Friday alleged that the TDP-led coalition government in the state was negligent in responding to the industrial accident at a pharma unit in Anakapalli district two days ago.

At least 17 people died, and 36 people were injured when a reactor exploded at Escientia Advanced Sciences Private Limited at



Atchutapuram SEZ.

Jagan Mohan Reddy claimed that no government leaders or officials had rushed to the site immediately after the explosion, leaving the victims without the necessary emergency support.

On Friday, he called on those injured in the reactor blast at a pharma unit at Atchutapuram Special Economic Zone in Anakapalli district on August 21.
