Basai village again? There seem to be frequent fire incidents in this area. The authorities need to conduct proper safety audits of all factories in this locality. Safety first!
Great work by our fire fighters! 18 fire engines shows they took this very seriously. Hope the factory had proper insurance and the workers will be compensated for any loss of livelihood.
Living in Sector 29, I could see the smoke from my balcony. It was quite scary initially. Relieved to hear no one was hurt. The response time was impressive!
Factory near crematorium? Sounds like questionable zoning regulations. Hope the investigation reveals the cause and proper action is taken to prevent such incidents in future.
Our fire department deserves all the appreciation! Working tirelessly to keep us safe. Hope the factory workers are okay and get support if they've lost their jobs temporarily. ðŸ™
