Thank God no casualties reported! 🙏 But Bawana industrial area has seen multiple fire incidents in recent years. Authorities need to conduct regular safety audits of all factories. This is unacceptable for our capital city.

The quick response by fire departments is commendable. Calling teams from neighboring districts shows good coordination. Hope they contain it completely soon. These paint factories store highly flammable materials - safety should be top priority.

As someone who lives near Bawana, the air quality is going to be terrible today. These incidents affect residents badly. Factories must compensate for environmental damage too, not just property loss.

Why do we always wait for accidents to happen? There should be mandatory fire safety training for all factory workers. A small investment in prevention could save crores in damages.

While relief at no lives lost, we must ask - how many safety violations were overlooked? Industrial areas often compromise safety to cut costs. Time for stricter enforcement and heavier penalties.
