A major fire broke out at Genius Paints Colour Company in Dinkar Pada in Palghar district. A chemical in the colour flared up suddenly, causing the fire to spread rapidly. The blaze became so fierce that a climate of fear spread through the surrounding area.
Two fire brigade vehicles reached the spot as soon as information about the incident was received. With the help of Wada police, every effort was made to bring the fire under control using seven tankers. Dousing the flames took considerable effort, and the fire was eventually brought under control.
It was a relief that no one lost their life in the accident. Several workers were present in the company at the time, but fortunately there was no loss of life. However, the company has suffered heavy financial losses because of the fire.
The initial estimate is that the fire was caused by a short circuit. This is only a preliminary estimate, and no firm information about the actual cause of the fire has emerged yet.
There are also houses of villagers next to the company. Some houses in the village were damaged after being caught in the fire. Villagers remain fearful as a result.
