This is so scary! My cousin works in a factory in Guwahati. Hope the fire is brought under control quickly and they find out what happened. Proper fire safety drills are a must.

No casualties is the biggest relief. Salute to the workers who evacuated safely and the firefighting teams on the ground. Hope there's minimal damage to railway infrastructure.

While it's good no one was hurt, this raises serious questions. Are safety protocols being followed in these industrial units? A respectful suggestion: audits should be more frequent and transparent.

Dibrugarh is an important hub. Any disruption here affects the whole region's logistics. Authorities must ensure this doesn't impact train maintenance schedules. Jai Hind to the rescue teams!
