As the state is reeling from the jolt of a massive fire tragedy in Rajkot’s TRP Game Zone, another fire broke out in the packaging department of a company located in Surat’s Umargam GIDC today, causing panic among the workers.

As per initial information, the fire broke out at a unit of ‘Interiors and More,’ a manufacturer of plastic flowers.

As the premises housed a large quantity of plastic, the fire intensified rapidly.

Following the incident, the Umargam municipal body and three fire tenders arrived at the scene.

All the workers were evacuated safely, and fire officials brought the blaze under control within an hour and a half.

The cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained. The reason will be known after the FSL (forensic science laboratory) report.
