Investigation into the incident is underway and several reports are awaited, including post-mortem reports of the deceased and findings from the forensic science laboratory and the industrial health and safety department, he said.

"A technical team has also been constituted to probe the cause of the blast. Further sections will be added if required after all reports are received," the SP said.
