A warehouse storing batteries and electronic goods caught fire and was engulfed in flames, with thick plumes of smoke rising high into the sky. The intensity of the blaze raised concerns about possible explosions and the spread of the fire to nearby units.
Warehouse Engulfed in Flames
The warehouse, belonging to GN Electronics Private Limited, was used to store batteries, lighters, and other electronic items.
