A big fire broke out under the newly opened Amberpet flyover in Hyderabad on Tuesday. This caused panic among people and led to heavy traffic jams. Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident.
The fire spread quickly, creating chaos for both residents and commuters. As soon as the authorities were informed, the police and fire department rushed to the scene. Two firefighters worked hard to put out the flames and prevent further damage to nearby structures.
According to fire officials, the fire started due to welding work taking place in a nearby shed. Sparks from the welding fell onto plastic waste inside the shed, which caught fire. The flames then spread to plastic pipes on the flyover, causing the accident. Officials assured the public that the fire was completely put out and that commuters using the flyover were safe. They also urged people not to panic.
Local authorities and traffic police worked continuously to clear the traffic and bring the situation back to normal. Vehicles were diverted to ease congestion and restore smooth movement on the roads.
In another incident on the same day, a moving car caught fire on the Rajendranagar PVNR Expressway near pillar number 211. The driver noticed smoke coming from the vehicle and quickly got out, avoiding any injuries. Police and fire personnel arrived promptly and extinguished the fire. Fortunately, no one was hurt in this incident either.
