Hyderabad, January 11: Eruption of a fire spark in one of Dr Reddy’s Laboratories unit gave jitters to its employees today. The spark in one of the units, located at Bachupally, was claimed to be outcome of a chemical reaction. But there are no casualties or injuries, according to the company officials.
As a precautionary measure, the company also called a fire engine to avoid untoward incidents. Recently, there was a fire in one of the DRL’s units at Bollarum wherein a chemist and a contract worker died due to a gas leak at the US Food and Drug Administration-approved plant that produces active pharmaceutical ingredients. A threemember committee, comprising two officials from the Directorate of Factories and one pharma expert, are probing into the gas leak incident at Dr Reddy’s Laboratories production unit.
