Despite the potential presence of numerous individuals at the warehouse, rescue operations were abruptly halted.
In contrast, BJP MLA Rameshwar Sharma criticized MLA Dogne’s choice of attire, deeming it inappropriate for a public representative to wear what he described as a “bomb garland.”
Former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath condemned the government’s handling of the situation, highlighting negligence across various fronts. He called the explosion at the Harda firecracker factory a profound tragedy and urged for the prosecution of all responsible parties.
