A powerful gas cylinder explosion rocked the heart of Forcella at 7 PM today, causing a ceiling to collapse in a building inhabited by Sri Lankan residents.

Witnesses described the explosion as violent, with the ceiling crashing down into the ground floor.

Rescue efforts are underway, with emergency responders and locals digging through the rubble, sometimes with bare hands, to reach those injured.

The situation is further complicated by parked cars and café tables blocking the path for fire trucks and ambulances, delaying crucial aid.

The community is in shock as they rally to support the affected families, highlighting the urgent need for clear emergency access routes in densely populated areas.
