BRS leader Kavitha alleged that the incident took place due to the state government's negligence and demanded that compensation of Rs 1 crore be provided to the kin of the deceased.
In a post on X, the BRS leader said that "a visit was made to console the victims injured in the explosion at the Sigachi Chemical Factory in Pashamailaram, who are receiving treatment at Dhruva Hospital in Pathancheru. It is unfortunate that such an incident occurred."
Adding to that, the BRS leader said, "This accident happened due to the government's negligence regarding safety measures in industries. The government should take the initiative to ensure safety in industries. A compensation of one crore rupees should be provided to the families of the deceased."
Adding further, she posted, "The government should release funds through a green channel to the hospitals providing treatment to the victims. It is not even being disclosed how many workers were working in the factory at the time of the accident. It is learnt that there were also minors among the workers in the factory. The government should reveal the truth about this matter," as per ANI.
Earlier in the day, Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy announced a compensation of Rs 1 crore to the families of the deceased and ordered a detailed inquiry into the Sigachi Pharma Industries explosion that killed 34 people and left several others injured.

The Chief Minister has also announced immediate assistance of Rs 1 lakh to the deceased's family and Rs 50,000 to the injured to cover emergency expenses.
The Chief Minister also enquired about the treatment status and hospital expenses of the injured victims. He said, "How many people are unskilled and skilled labour? Have you segregated the number of skilled and unskilled workers who died after the blast?"
Revanth Reddy emphasised that such incidents should serve as a learning point for both the government and industry stakeholders.
