Chikkaballapura: The National Green Tribunal (NGT) registered a Suo Motto case in connection with the Hirenagavalli gelatin sticks explosion incident which claimed six lives.

On the midnight of February 22, this incident was reported while destroying the gelatin sticks. It has been stated that the mine workers under the influence of alcohol threw the sticks to fire instead of water causing a huge explosion.

According to the sources, NGT asked pollution control board, Chikkaballapur district administration and state mines and geology department to submit a report in this regard by April 30. The NGT also formed an expert’s committee to suggest ways to prevent these kinds of incidents in the future.
