Mine Explosion Leaves at Least 10 Indians Dead, More Feared Trapped in Andhra Pradesh, Reports Claim
07:41 GMT 08.05.2021 (Updated: 17:10 GMT 31.07.2023) In Kadapa, a district of the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh rich in sand, gravel, clay-phosphate and limestone, several surface mining operations take place each year at several quarries, which employ local residents.
At least ten people reportedly died in Kadapa on Saturday as a result of an massive explosion in a limestone quarry, Hindustan Times (HT) reported.
The incident took place in the Mamillapalle village area of Kadapa’s industrial Kalasapadu block.
The explosion happened while the detonators were being shifted to the quarry site, the HT report said citing police inspector Mohan Reddy.
It's feared that several other quarry workers remain trapped under the debris.
Andhra Pradesh state chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy expressed shock over the tragedy, and ordered an inquiry into the incident, HT reported.
Reddy went on to express his condolences to the families of the blast victims.
