2 corporators among 16 injured in fire during poll win celebrations in Pune

At least 16 people, including two newly elected corporators, sustained burn injuries after bhandara (mixture of turmeric and other items including tamarind seeds) caught fire outside Pune's Jejuri temple. The incident occurred during a local body poll victory celebration. "Primary probe suggests that the turmeric being showered came in contact with flames of...diya resulting in fire," police said.
