In another fire incident, a pesticide factory caught flame in Dewas in Madhya Pradesh on Friday. No one was hurt in the incident, a police official said.
There were 20-25 workers at the unit when the fire started but they all managed to leave the premises safely, Superintendent of Police Puneet Gehlot said.
Prima facie, it seems the fire started due to a short circuit, though a probe is underway to find out the exact cause, the SP added.
The fire in Fine Pest Sulphur (India) Private Limited's plant in the industrial area here was noticed at 1pm and was extinguished in 30 minutes, Dewas City Superintendent of Police Dishesh Agrawal told PTI.
