Bhubaneswar, Nov 12: A massive fire broke out following an explosion at a firecracker godown near the Infocity area in Bhubaneswar on Monday.

The explosion was so intense that it engulfed the entire facility in flames and caused multiple cracks to form in the walls. The blast was audible from miles away, sending shockwaves through the neighborhood.

Nearby, a hostel suffered damage as the explosion shattered its glass windows, scattering debris across the surrounding area. Local resident Priya Das described the scene, stating, "We heard a loud bang, and our windows shook. It was terrifying.”
