At least 20 people, including firefighters, sustained injuries after an oil leak led to a blast at a poultry feed plant in Kerala's Pallakad district. The blast happened at 5 pm at an isolated hilltop in Thiruvizamkunnu. “The plant, owned by an NRI, was conducting a trial run today, but a fire broke out due to an oil leak," a police official said while adding that the blast happened after the temperature of the oil tank increased.
