INA massive fire broke out in Lucknow’s Vikas Nagar area on Wednesday evening around 5:30 PM, causing widespread devastation. More than 250 slum huts were completely destroyed, and over 30 LPG cylinder blasts intensified the fire, making it uncontrollable within minutes. Flames were reportedly visible from nearly 10 kilometers away. 🔥
As the fire spread rapidly, around 20 nearby houses were evacuated for safety. Nearly 20 fire brigade vehicles rushed to the scene and worked for about 3 hours to bring the blaze under control. Electricity in the area was also cut off to prevent further danger. 🚒
Heartbreaking scenes were witnessed as families lost everything they owned. Many were seen crying and searching through the ashes for belongings. A local man claimed that four children from his family lost their lives, though official confirmation is still awaited. Some residents have also alleged that the fire may have been deliberately set. 💔
Yogi Adityanath took immediate cognizance of the incident and directed officials to reach the spot and ensure quick relief operations. Brajesh Pathak also visited the site and instructed authorities to speed up rescue and support efforts.
