Gas cylinder explosion at a hotel restaurant on Grand Road, November 2026

At about 3.30 pm on Friday 13 November 2026, a suspected gas cylinder explosion tore through the closed ground-floor restaurant of a hotel on Grand Road, near the Jagannath temple, while a new gas connection was being fitted. Four people were hurt, three in the blast and a firefighter in the rescue, and no deaths were reported. The fire officer's early view is a gas cloud or flash fire during the connection work; the cause is not established. We cover it in a case study.

Stay safe: quick checklist

Save 112, 101, 108 and 100 in your phone, along with the LPG leak helpline 1906. Share them with everyone who travels with you.
In a hotel, note the stairs and the nearest exit when you check in, and keep your room key and phone by the bed.
If you smell gas, do not touch switches or light anything: shut the regulator, open doors and windows, leave at once and call 112 or 1906 from outside.

If you run a hotel or restaurant, have a trained mechanic from the gas agency fit and check any new or reconnected gas line before a long-closed kitchen reopens, and test joints with soapy water, never a flame.
After a blast, keep clear of the building and of broken glass on a crowded road, call 112 and 108 with the road name and a landmark, and do not go back in.
Keep fire extinguishers in the kitchen in date and within reach, and make sure staff know how to use them.
