VADODARA: Seven workers were injured after a fire broke out at a manufacturing facility in Nandesari GIDC near here on Tuesday.
Fire brigade officials said the fire engulfed one of the plants of Nandesari-based PAB Organics Private Limited after an explosion in a chemical reactor.
The fire broke out in the plant number two of the private limited firm, which manufactures fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals intermediates.

The injured workers Harshil Seth (23), Manu Parmar (25), Kashyap Patel (23), Rajesh Makwana (45), Chatrasinh Gohil (48), Jagdish Gohil (40), and Prabhat Gohil (38) were admitted to Shreeji Hospital in Chhani.
While Chatrasinh, Jagdish and Prabhat sustained burn injuries, Harshil, Manu, Kashyap and Rajesh received injuries on their head and arms.
"We have shifted Manu Parmar and Rajesh Makwana to intensive care unit due to head injuries. The vital statistics of other five workers are normal," said a doctor from the emergency department of Shreeji Hospital.
"It took us around two and half hours to extinguish the fire. There was a barrel of highly flammable solvent and a tank of methanol 40 feet away from the spot where the explosion took place. Fortunately, the barrel and tank did not catch fire or else the entire factory would have been gutted," said Deepak Parmar, a fireman from Nandesari fire brigade.
