Worker injured in Rewari fire dies in hospital
Rohtak, May 22 -- Nearly two days after a fire broke out at the GLS Chemical Company in Sector 5 of the Bawal industrial area in Rewari and left six workers severely injured, one of the victims succumbed to his injuries on Thursday while undergoing treatment at a Gurugram hospital.

Bawal DSP Surender Sheoran said that out of the six hospitalised workers one has succumbed to the injuries and two workers are trapped inside. He said that the rescue operation was still going on.
