This is so scary! My cousin lives near Uppal Bagayath. These manufacturing units often store foam and chemicals which are highly flammable. The owners must invest in proper fire safety equipment. No loss of life is the biggest relief.

Well done to the fire services for containing it quickly. However, reading about the Moghalpura CNG car blast in the same article is concerning. Are we learning from past incidents? A pattern of electrical short circuits points to broader infrastructure or negligence issues.

The workers in these units are the most vulnerable. Hope the management provides them with proper safety training. Material loss can be recovered, but lives cannot. GHMC should conduct mandatory fire drills in all such industrial pockets.

First Moghalpura, now Uppal. Hyderabad seems to be having a spate of fire incidents this winter. Dry weather plus electrical faults are a dangerous combo. Stay safe, everyone. Maybe time for a city-wide awareness campaign?

Good to see no one was hurt. The fire tenders reached on time. But let's be honest, many of these smaller units operate in cramped spaces with illegal electrical connections. The root cause is often overlooked until disaster strikes.
