Fire at Mattress Factory Near Ambala Contained After Deployment of Seven Fire TendersPreviousNext

A major fire broke out on Monday at a mattress factory in Mandour village near Ambala City, with no casualties reported. Thick black smoke was visible from afar as the fire spread rapidly due to inflammable materials. Seven fire tenders were deployed, and authorities, including Deputy Superintendent of Police Jitender Jindal, stated the fire was largely contained. Preliminary investigations indicate an electrical short circuit may have caused the blaze. Haryana's Energy Minister Anil Vij visited the site.
