89 killed in twin blasts in Madhya Pradesh

Eighty-nine people have been killed and over 100 injured, 20 seriously, when a cylinder blast at a tea stall packed with customers was followed by a massive blast that ripped through an adjoining building in Madhya Pradesh's Jhabua district. It was packed with workers and schoolchildren eating breakfast. A cooking gas cylinder exploded, causing explosives illegally stored nearby to detonate, police said. Rescue efforts efforts have now ended - officials say they have pulled all the bodies out of the wreckage. At least 35 people are in hospital with injuries. After the gas cylinder exploded, onlookers and people looking for their relatives gathered at the scene. The explosives then went off, worsening the toll from the blast. The explosives were mining detonators which were stored illegally in a room next to the restaurant, officials said, according to a news agency.
