Gujarat Fire Tragedy: On Wednesday morning, a significant fire erupted at a chemical factory located in Gujarat's Aravalli district. The blaze resulted in the destruction of over 60 tankers loaded with chemicals. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation, and no casualties have been reported thus far.
To combat the fire, ten fire tenders were dispatched to the scene, and the local police were also present to assist in managing the situation.
In a separate incident, nine children sustained injuries during a Dussehra procession in Maharashtra's Satara district when a generator caught fire. This unfortunate incident occurred during a procession with an idol of Goddess Durga on the occasion of Vijayadashami in the Koli Aali area of Mahabaleshwar. All the injured children are reported to be in stable condition and are receiving medical treatment.
Superintendent of Police Sameer Shaikh confirmed that the children with burn injuries are currently in stable condition and are being treated at various hospitals.
Earlier this week, a massive fire in an eight-storey residential building in Mumbai resulted in two fatalities and three injuries. Preliminary findings suggested that the fire may have been triggered by a PNG (Piped Natural Gas) leak or due to a tilting pooja lamp.
Further details regarding the incidents are awaited as investigations continue.
