NEW DELHI, Nov. 29 (Xinhua) -- At least 24 workers were injured Wednesday in a devastating blaze at a chemical factory in India's western state of Gujarat, officials said.
The fire broke out at the chemical factory located in Sachin GIDC industrial area in Surat district, about 300 km south of Gandhinagar, the capital city of Gujarat.
