The Tata Electronics facility that caught fire on Saturday stayed cordoned off on Sunday. A team of the local police was seen there. Security persons at the plant didn't allow this reporter inside the factory.
“Nobody is allowed to come inside unless there is permission from the management,” said the security official there.
Residents in a sleepy village near Hosur, Tamil Nadu, were woken by a loud explosion on Saturday morning after a massive fire broke out at the unit. The facility, located in Krishnagiri district, makes components for Apple iPhones. While the flames were eventually controlled, the incident has caused significant disruption in its operations and production line.
The plant is more than two and a half hours by road from Bengaluru.
About 1,500 workers, mainly in the morning shift, were present at the unit when the fire erupted, according to sources. All employees were evacuated, and no casualties or injuries were reported.
