On the morning of June 30, a powerful explosion tore through a chemical factory in Telangana’s Sangareddy district, its echo heard for kilometres.

As families gathered outside morgues and rescue zones, a grim picture began to emerge — of alleged ignored warnings, delayed responses and silence from those in charge, reports Naveen Kumar
