Major Fire Damages Nahar Group Cotton Warehouse and Spinning Unit in Lalru

A major fire broke out early Sunday at the Nahar Group's cotton warehouse and spinning unit in Lalru's Lehli industrial area, causing extensive damage estimated in lakhs. The blaze, fueled by inflammable cotton, required around 35-40 fire engines and assistance from the Army to control over approximately 10 hours. Thick smoke spread panic nearby, prompting evacuations. Power outages complicated firefighting efforts. No casualties were reported, and authorities have launched an investigation into the fire's cause.
