Massive Fire Engulfs Sanitary Warehouse in Gurugram’s New Basti Area, Triggers Panic Near Kali Mata Temple

The blaze rapidly escalated into a fierce inferno, completely gutting the warehouse and reducing sanitary goods worth several lakh rupees to ashes. At the time of the incident, the warehouse was locked. Eyewitnesses and local residents stated that the situation could have turned catastrophic had the warehouse been open or if employees had been present inside during the fire.

Upon receiving information about the incident, two fire brigade vehicles rushed to the spot. Firefighters battled the flames with sustained efforts and successfully brought the fire under control, preventing it from spreading to nearby buildings. Their timely response averted a potentially larger disaster in the densely populated area.

The exact cause of the fire remains unknown. Fire brigade officials and police teams are present at the site and have initiated an investigation into the incident. Preliminary assessments suggest that a short circuit may have triggered the fire; however, officials emphasized that the exact cause will be confirmed only after a detailed probe.

Authorities confirmed that the fire has been completely extinguished. The incident highlights the persistent risk of fire hazards in storage facilities and underscores the importance of safety measures, particularly in urban clusters where such events can escalate rapidly.
