My cousin lives near that area. She said the smoke was so thick that people had to cover their faces with wet cloths. Hope the firefighters get it under control soon. These incidents show how important it is to have proper ventilation in industrial areas.

Furniture factories store so much flammable material - wood, foam, adhesives. They should be located far from residential areas. Our town planning needs serious improvement. #SafetyFirst

While I appreciate the quick response, I'm concerned about the factory being near a cancer hospital. The smoke could affect patients. Authorities should reconsider zoning laws for such sensitive locations.

Hope the factory workers get compensation if they lose wages due to this incident. Many daily wage workers depend on these jobs for survival. The owner must take responsibility.

I visited Eluru last year. The industrial and residential areas are too close together. The municipal corporation should create proper industrial zones away from homes and hospitals. Basic urban planning could prevent many such incidents.
