Four months back, when Mohammed Anwar arrived in the city from his village in Bihar, his dream was to earn a living for his family back home. He didn't know he would brush death so soon into his stay in the Maximum City.

The 25-year-old had a lucky escape as he had returned home for lunch and a nap when the incident at the refinery took place. But because his room in Gawanpada is adjacent to the plant, he couldn't escape completely.
