Tirupur: A horrifying incident unfolded at Jayarathanam Exports Company, a knitwear manufacturing firm located in the North Garden area near Tirupur Parapalayam, when an ionizing steam boiler exploded, leaving several workers injured. The company, owned by Pradeep Chetty from Mangalore, specializes in manufacturing and exporting knitwear to foreign countries, employing over 20 workers.

Swift action was taken by the fellow workers, who promptly rushed the injured to a nearby private hospital for urgent medical attention. Meanwhile, the Tirupur Central Police Department has initiated an investigation into the accident.
