An area in the radius of 2 km was drawn around the pit and denizens.
Farmers were asked to stay away from the demarcated zone, even the army and police and the media persons took position 550-mtr away from the pit area.

With all preparations and precautions, the blast triggered a bang that could be heard in areas several kilometer away from the site. The blast caused a cloud of smoke and dust that grew several meter high.
