A major fire broke out in the Jeedimetla industrial area of Hyderabad early on Saturday morning. The fire was caused by a leak in an underground gas pipeline. Thankfully, there were no casualties reported in the incident, which took place in 2025.
As soon as the fire was reported, a team from Bhagyanagar Gas Limited, along with personnel from the Fire Department and local police, rushed to the site. A fire engine was dispatched to control the situation, and the flames were successfully extinguished. Technicians immediately began repairing the damaged gas pipeline to prevent any further issues.
The Dundigal police have started investigating the cause of the fire. According to preliminary reports, it is suspected that a campfire lit by unidentified individuals near the gas pipeline might have triggered the leak and subsequent fire. However, the exact cause is still under investigation.
This incident has raised serious concerns about fire safety measures in industrial areas. Authorities are urging businesses in industrial zones, such as Jeedimetla, to review and strengthen their safety protocols to avoid similar accidents in the future.
As investigations continue, officials have assured that updates about the fire and its causes will be shared soon.
