All schools will be closed. Only workers in the essential services and persons travelling will be allowed free movement,” Ramkalwan’s office said in a statement.
The explosion had caused “massive damage” to the Providence Industrial zone and surrounding areas on the main island of Mahe, the statement said, while flooding due to rains had resulted in “major destruction”. The statement gave no further details.
