According to the employee who got burnt in the accident, he said that the big emergency gate installed in the company was closed at the time of the accident. Due to this, the employees remained trapped after the fire. On Saturday (16 March) evening, a boiler had burst at Life Long Company located in Dharuhera. Rajkumar (24) of Gonda district of UP was also burnt in this. He told that on March 16, about 60-70 employees were working in the company. The boiler dust collector burst at 5.45 pm. This boiler dust collector had burst twice before. There was no loss at that time. Even then the contractor and company owners were informed about getting it repaired. It was also said that this could lead to a major accident. But they were negligent by not paying any attention to its maintenance. If the company owner and contractor had cleaned and maintained it on time, such a big accident would not have happened.
