A major fire broke out at a plastic factory in Keraniganj, prompting emergency services to deploy multiple units to combat the blaze. The Fire Service and Civil Defence mobilized eight units to the industrial area, where the fire had already gained considerable ground by the time responders arrived at the scene.
The exact cause of the fire remained under investigation at the time of reporting. Keraniganj is home to numerous manufacturing facilities and industrial units, many of which handle flammable materials, presenting significant safety risks in densely populated industrial zones.
Firefighters worked systematically to prevent the fire from spreading to adjacent factories and warehouses in the vicinity. The operation required coordinated efforts from multiple fire brigades to manage the scale of the emergency and ensure the safety of workers and nearby residents.
No immediate details were available regarding casualties or the extent of property damage caused by the incident. Local authorities have typically launched investigations into such industrial fires to determine contributing factors and ensure compliance with fire safety regulations across manufacturing sectors in the region.
