Jaipur: The fire at the Indian Oil depot in Jaipur blazed into it's fifth day on Monday, even as the height of the flames came down.
There were two more blasts on Sunday night, as two barrels of lubricants exploded due to the intense heat.
Sources have told NDTV that the explosions are due to a few impossible-to-remove barrels of inflammable material still in the IOC compound. Fire experts still can't say when the fire will be completely doused.
Offcials will begin assessing losses on Monday, and also check structural damages to buildings. Meanwhile, on Tuesday, the Rajasthan High Court will hear a plea on the government's failure to control fire. Both the IOC and Petroleum Ministry have been named in the plea.
