At least 23 persons, including women and children, were badly burnt as a fire engulfed a marriage venue in this Madhya Pradesh town, police said on Sunday.
The late Saturday fire broke out due to a gas leak from a cylinder at the place where food was being prepared, police officer S.N. Pandey told IANS.
Four of the victims, who were in a critical state, have been sent to Bhopal for treatment while the rest are being treated in a local hospital, he added.
