Fire officer Narender Yadav said they received a call at 5.15 pm regarding the blaze at Forza Medi India Private Limited in IMT Manesar.

The fire spread rapidly from the ground floor to the first due to machinery and goods in the plant. The company has suffered a big loss in the incident, added Yadav. 

Earlier in January this year, at least two people were killed while two others sustained injuries after a chemical tanker exploded in the Sadar area of Panipat. The explosion was so severe that the shop's roof was completely damaged.
