Virudhunagar/UNI: In the Virudhunagar district's Panaiyadipatti village, close to Sattur, a private fireworks factory caught fire on Friday, resulting in an explosion that claimed the life of a 36-year-old worker.

Police said, "The deceased was identified as Shanmugaraj of Kandiyapuram village."

The fire broke out in a shed, where the deceased was engaged in mixing highly inflammable chemicals meant for making a fancy variety of crackers.

Other workers managed to escape from the unit.
