A worker died and three others sustained injuries in a blast at a company that produces animal fat-based products in Edayar, near Kalamassery, the police said on Sunday.

The victim identified as Ajay, and the three injured workers are natives of Odisha.

The injured persons have been admitted to the Government Medical College, Kalamassery. Their conditions are said to be not serious.

Preliminary reports suggest that the blast occurred due to a fault with the safety valve of a gas stove on Saturday night.

The fire department and police rushed to the scene following the blast.

Further investigations are underway to determine the exact cause of the incident, the police added.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
