Srinagar: A non-Kashmiri Indian engineer was killed and two others were injured in an explosion in Shopian district of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, the blast occurred at the Zum Zum cold storage unit in the fruit mandi in Aglar area of the district. One engineer died and two others were injured during repair work. The deceased has been identified as Saurabh Singh, while the injured have been identified as Dileep Kumar and Ram Kumar.<\/p>\n

All three are residents of Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, India. A steamer in such units refers to a steam-generating system or boiler used for heating, pressure control, or maintenance operations within the facility. It operates under high pressure and temperature, and any malfunction during repair or operation can lead to explosions, making it a high-risk component if not handled properly.<\/p>\n

The trio was reportedly engaged in repair work at the cold storage facility when the explosion took place. The condition of the injured was not immediately known. The cause of the blast is being ascertained.<\/p>\n

Notably, a cold storage facility is a temperature-controlled unit used to preserve perishable goods such as fruits, vegetables, and other agricultural produce by slowing down spoilage and extending shelf life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
