Residents report that the chemical factory has been closed for nearly 30 years. The factory previously manufactured medicines. Due to the long closure, the buildings have now fallen into ruins, and the compound's boundary walls have been breached in several places. A large pile of chemical waste has been lying in the factory premises for years. Now, a fire is continuously raging within this waste material. Locals claim that approximately 4,000 square feet of area is engulfed. Embers-like formations are visible underground, and hot smoke and steam are emanating from several locations. Due to the open area, children from the surrounding area come there to play. While playing, they often reach the fire blazing underground, causing severe burns to their feet. According to ward residents, four children have suffered serious burns to their feet so far. The injured are undergoing treatment at the hospital. People say that if the administration does not take action in time, a major accident could occur.
