What started as a normal day eventually ended with despair, agony, pain, and an alarming call of addressing the mishaps at the firework units across the state.

While the death toll stood at 12 on Friday, it has increased to 19 on Saturday morning and the reports say that 80% of the injured people are still in a critical state.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that the fire accident is saddening and asserted that the authorities are working on the ground to assist those affected.
