02:32My name is Asif.
02:33I live half a kilometre away from here.
02:35My house is on the 6th floor of the Akash Chawar building.
02:38What kind of noise did you hear at that time?
02:42I was at home at that time.
02:44It was 2 minutes past 10.
02:46There was a loud noise in the building.
02:48I live half a kilometre away from here.
02:50There was a loud noise in the Akash Chawar building.
02:53I was scared.
02:54The child was scared as well.
02:55It was a very loud noise.
02:56I thought it was a normal crackling noise.
02:59When I looked out of the window, I could see the whole thing.
03:02I have made a video of it.
03:05There was a rumbling noise in the distance.
03:11The noise was very loud.
03:16There was noise every 5-10 minutes.
03:21As I came down, I could see the car that was parked here.
03:26The car was full of bottles.
03:31There were at least 50-100 bottles filled in it.
03:34What was the atmosphere like?
03:36There were a lot of scared people here, people from Pilla Bangla, people from PMG Colony.
03:40People who had gone out to shop for Eid.
03:44Those who had gone out for shopping, half of the family was at home and half of the family was outside.
03:49So when they came to know, they had tears in their eyes.
03:52The atmosphere of Baghdad was in tension.
03:54That PMG Colony is being blasted in our house.
03:56There is a blast in the colony.
03:58When the police came here, they were told that the situation has worsened.
04:01Our senior, Raju Bidkar, came here with his entire team.
04:05The car fell in the fire.
04:07The situation has been controlled.
04:09No one has lost their life.
04:12The reason is that the car parked in the parking lot today, filled with HP,
04:16was parked next to the Nature's Park.
04:19If it had been parked on the opposite side of the road,
04:22there could have been a big accident in the PMG Colony.
04:25If it had been a big accident, then it would have been solved.
