The other injured worker is undergoing treatment at a hospital.

The fire services were informed around 12 pm on Friday and soon several 32 fire tenders rushed to the spot. The fire was so major that it spread to a few adjoining factories as well.Some of the local residents and factory workers too gathered at the spot.

The fire was finally doused after around nine hours by firefighters. Both the victims are workers of the factory.
