Jhabua, Madhya Pradesh, Sep 12 (IBNS) At least 45 people were killed and more than 80 injured in a series of massive explosions after a gas cylinder exploded at a restaurant near Madhya Pradesh's Jhabua district on Saturday morning, reports said.
The Injured have been hospital with many of them in critical condition while the rescue operation is said to be in the final stage.

The explosion at Sethiya Restaurant, situated near a bus stand in Petlawad town, took place around 9 in the morning. The single storey building housing the restaurant collapsed under the impact of the huge explosion. 
 
Police said explosions were so massive because of fireworks materials and even gelatine sticks being stacked inside a room just beside the restaurant in the same building. 

A number of adjacent buildings were also damaged.

Police said more people are feared to be trapped under the debris. 
 
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhand and the state's Director General of Police have left Bhopal to visit the spot.
