A major fire broke out in the Bidadi industrial area of Ramanagara taluk, triggering panic among workers and nearby residents. A warehouse storing batteries and electronic goods caught fire and was engulfed in flames, with thick plumes of smoke rising high into the sky. The intensity of the blaze raised concerns about possible explosions and the spread of the fire to nearby units.

Warehouse Engulfed in Flames

The warehouse, belonging to GN Electronics Private Limited, was used to store batteries, lighters, and other electronic items. Due to the highly flammable nature of these materials, the fire spread rapidly and caused extensive damage. Goods worth several lakhs of rupees were completely destroyed in the blaze. Fortunately, no casualties or injuries have been reported.

Reports suggest that even an hour after the fire broke out, fire engines had not reached the spot to bring the situation under control. This delay has raised serious concerns among locals and workers in the area, who feared that the fire could escalate further.
