中央邦一烟花工厂爆炸：造成11人死亡，200人受伤，3名责任人被捕

HARDA: Eleven people were killed and nearly 200 injured Tuesday morning in a series of explosions at a fireworks factory on the outskirts of Harda that was ordered closed in 2022. Sources said over 200 people worked in the factory, with 70-odd in the morning shift. But in the chaos and panic, their fate was unknown till Tuesday midnight.

赫尔达：周二上午，赫尔达郊区一家烟花厂发生一系列爆炸，造成11人死亡，近200人受伤，该工厂于2022年被下令关闭。消息人士称，这家工厂有200多个工人，其中70多人在上早班。在混乱和恐慌中，他们的命运直到周二午夜才揭晓。

Three people including the factory owners - brothers Rajesh and Somesh Agrawal - and general manager Rafiq Khan have been arrested.

包括工厂老板拉杰什和索米什·阿格拉瓦尔兄弟以及总经理拉菲克·汗在内的三人已经被捕。

Ironically, Rajesh was sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment in 2021 after a blast killed two workers in 2015, but he challenged the verdict.

具有讽刺意味的是，在2015年的一次爆炸造成两名工人死亡后，拉杰什于2021年被判处10年监禁，但他不服判决。

The three-storey factory was obliterated in blasts that went on for an hour, leaving behind a heap of concrete and rubble that was so hot that it was impossible to get near it till late in the night. The true toll may be known only in the morning. Govt officials claim the body count is unlikely to rise as most workers had "fled after the first blast".

这座三层楼高的工厂在持续了一个小时的爆炸中被夷为平地，留下的是一堆混凝土和瓦砾，由于温度过高，直到深夜才可能接近。真正的损失要到明天早上才能知道。政府官员声称，死亡人数不太可能上升，大多数工人“在第一次爆炸后就逃离了”。

This was a tragedy waiting to happen: a factory that shouldn't have been open at all, and run by an owner who was sentenced to jail for the death of two workers in a blast eight years ago.

这是一场必然发生的悲剧：一家根本不应该营业的工厂，由一个8年前因爆炸导致两名工人死亡而被判入狱的老板经营。

The factory's licence was first suspended and later cancelled, but it kept running, allegedly under the patronage of powerful people. In Oct last year, an IAS officer inspected the factory and was shocked to find far more explosives stored than allowed. Action on the inspection report is still pending.

这家工厂的执照先是被暂停，后来又被吊销，但据称在权贵的庇护下，它仍在继续运营。去年10月，一名IAS官员检查了该工厂，震惊地发现储存的爆炸物远远超过允许的数量。对检查报告的处理仍在等待中。

The factory has a history of deaths and failed inspections, yet it stayed in business until a catastrophic explosion reduced it to rubble, killing at least 11 people and injuring 200 on Feb 6.

这家工厂有过工人死亡和检查不合格的记录，但它一直在营业，直到2月6日发生灾难性爆炸，将其夷为平地，造成至少11人死亡，200人受伤。

Another tragedy like bhopal people deserve who they vote for… these politicians and the government officials they appoint are never accountable….

又一场类似博帕尔爆炸案的悲剧。人们投票给这些政客，但他们任命的政府官员从不负责，这也是活该吧。

All firecracker factory are illegal. All firecracker are illegal. Firecracker and its factory should be banned. Firecracker are hazardous, polluting, nuisance and a problem for society and living being including animals and birds. Ban firecrackers.

所有的爆竹厂都是非法的。所有的鞭炮都是非法的。鞭炮和工厂都应该被禁止。鞭炮是有害的、会造成污染，令人讨厌，对社会和包括动物和鸟类在内的生物都是一个问题。实行鞭炮禁令。

Things like these keep happening.Not an issue.,It happened in spirit of nationlism.,Any who lost some1 or is injured , go visit the newly launched temple ,sab thik ho jayega.,Ya phir thali bajao better feel karoge.

这样的事情不断发生，没毛病，这是在民族主义精神下发生的。任何失去亲人或受伤的人，都可以去参观新落成的寺庙。

the newly launched Ram Mandir is privately funded. And also generating billion dollars via tourism and providing employment to thousands. You are not a hindu. so you shouldn't be concerned about a mandir which is built by private citizen with their donation and shouldn't be your concern. people like you link even your private dispute to mandir, that's how pathetic you people are. Go manage your stupid state called Bengal where such incident is normal and where crude bomb factory is normal..linking an incident in madya Pradesh to the ram mandir in uttar Pradesh, you have to be dumb to do that

新建的罗摩神庙是私人出资的。同时通过吸引游客创造了数十亿美元的收入，并为数千人提供了就业机会。你不是印度教徒，所以你不必担心一个由私人捐赠建造的寺庙。你这样的人甚至把你的私人纠纷和宗教联系在一起，你就是这么可悲。把中央邦的事件和北方邦的罗摩神庙联系在一起，你肯定是傻瓜才会这么做。

All of the governmental officials along with the owners and managers should be in jail for life for the murders. I will not be surprised if the owners are out on bail in next few days.

以谋杀罪判决所有牵涉的政府官员以及老板和经理终身监禁。如果在接下来的几天里老板被保释，我也不会感到惊讶。

为什么只怪工厂老板呢？有些大人物拿穷人的生命开玩笑，为什么不对老板处以极刑呢？拿出点勇气来，否则印度如何能进步?

Life and death is in the hands of the Creator. Money minting must go on without any fear for law and God so long as patronage is there.

生与死掌握在造物主手中。只要还有庇护人，他们就不惧法律和神，继续搞钱。

警方会再立一个案，工厂就会像往常一样重新开工，这就是现状

Capital punishment is what needed here for the owners. India has all the laws but poorly implemented especially for those with influence and money.

判老板死刑。印度法律完善，但执行不力，特别是对那些有权有势的人。

This is a true story of a lax and corrupt state Administration. All senior district officials, Explosive and fire dept personnel responsible for this tragedy are to be suspended with immediate effect and charges of wilful culpable homicide registered against the owners and manager of the factory.

这是一个各部门腐败懒政的真实故事。对这起悲剧负有责任的所有高级地区官员，爆炸和消防部门人员都应被立即停职，并以故意杀人罪起诉工厂的老板和经理。

BJP ruled state has evidently proved how corrupt and administration and the government can become. All politicians are alike and BJP takes the cake as far as corruption is concerned

人民党统治的邦已经明显证明了政府会变得多么腐败。所有的政客都是一样的，就腐败而言，人民党绝对排第一。
