RESCUERS combed through piles of debris and wreckage searching for bodies after an explosion and fire at a chemical factory in western India killed at least nine people and injured 64 others, officials said.
The explosion in the factory’s boiler on Thursday led to a fire that affected nearby factories and houses in Maharashtra state’s Thane district, administrative official Sachin Shejal said.
