What Was Destroyed in the Fire?
The materials consumed by the flames were primarily items and temporary structures that authorities had confiscated during its ongoing drives against illegal street vendors and public encroachments. The Nehru Nagar Stadium is one of several open spaces used by the civic body for the temporary storage of such seized goods and debris. The large and varied pile of combustible materials contributed to the intensity of the Nehru Nagar Stadium fire, creating a massive plume of smoke visible across the area.
Investigation Launched into Fire Cause
Officials have launched a full-scale investigation to determine the origin and cause of the Nehru Nagar Stadium fire. The exact reason the materials caught fire is currently unknown. The police and fire department are exploring all possibilities, including whether the incident was a tragic accident or a case of deliberate arson. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities work to uncover the truth behind this destructive event.
