Massive Blaze Guts Plastic Warehouse in Amroha’s Joya; Short Circuit Suspected

Preliminary investigations by local authorities suggest that a short circuit served as the primary ignition point for the blaze. Despite the gravity of the situation and the immediate distress calls placed by onlookers, the response was marred by significant delays. Witnesses expressed frustration over the perceived sluggishness of the emergency services, noting that fire tenders failed to reach the site in a timely manner, leaving locals to battle the encroaching flames with limited resources during the initial, most critical moments of the outbreak.

The incident falls under the jurisdiction of the Didoli Police Station, where officials are currently monitoring the situation and assessing the total extent of the property damage. While no immediate casualties have been reported, the economic loss is expected to be substantial given the volume of plastic goods destroyed. The event has once again cast a spotlight on the critical need for robust fire safety infrastructure and faster response protocols in semi-urban industrial hubs, where the proximity of warehouses to residential quarters poses a recurring risk to public safety.
