As many as four porters sustained serious injuries due to the explosion of a crackers’ parcel at ANL courier parcel point located in APSRTC complex of Parvatipuram on Sunday (October 19). The four workers were admitted to Regional Area Hospital of Parvatipuram where their condition is said to be stable. The incident shocked everyone as crackers are not allowed in RTC buses due to the danger of their explosion. However, a few traders reportedly bought them and booked parcel in Vizinaagaram. During the handling of the parcel, it exploded on the spot.
Parvatipuram MLA Bonela Vijaya Chandra interacted with the injured workers and asked the police personnel to inquire into the incident. He rebuked ANL parcel authorities for accepting crackers also as parcels in spite of threat to the lives of passengers and others. He promised quality treatment to injured persons and compensation from the government.
