Massive Fire Engulfs Scrap Godown In Gujarat's Bharuch, Rescue Operations Underway

Bharuch: A massive fire engulfed a scrap godown in the market area of Gujarat 's Bharuch on Monday night. Local police and firefighters rushed to the scene, initiating a rescue operation. Fortunately, no casualties have been reported yet.

According to Fire Officer Chirag Gadhvi, "The situation is under control as of now, and there are no injuries or casualties yet." The exact cause of the fire is still unknown and under investigation.

This incident comes just days after a similar fire broke out at the under-construction Sabarmati bullet train station in Ahmedabad on Saturday. Thankfully, no casualties were reported in that incident either.

The National High-Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL), responsible for the project, issued a statement regarding the Ahmedabad fire. They reported that the blaze occurred on the roof shuttering at one part of the construction site. The statement suggested that welding sparks from temporary shuttering work likely caused the fire.

The rescue operation at the Bharuch scrap godown is ongoing, with firefighters working to extinguish the flames and prevent further damage.
