DMK president M.K. Stalin expressed deep shock and sorrow over the catastrophic explosion at a private fireworks manufacturing unit in Achankulam near Sattur in Virudhunagar district, which claimed the lives of eleven workers, including a school-going girl. Extending heartfelt condolences to the grief-stricken families, Stalin described the loss of precious lives as an agonizing tragedy that laid bare the persistent absence of stringent workplace safety regulations in hazardous chemical units.

Stalin remarked with severe anguish that fatal industrial explosions had become tragically frequent under the AIADMK administration due to lax regulatory inspections and institutional negligence. He demanded that the Tamil Nadu government immediately sanction comprehensive financial compensation to the families of the deceased workers and guarantee specialized medical treatment for the severely injured victims. Stalin urged the state administration to enforce comprehensive safety audits across all fireworks production units to ensure that such devastating industrial accidents never recur.

The tragic incident triggered widespread calls for systematic regulatory reform in Virudhunagar fireworks industries and surrounding districts. Stalin reiterated his unwavering commitment to safeguarding industrial workers lives and occupational safety through rigorous state oversight.
