Fire Breaks Out at Snack Factory near Kalupur Bridge in Ahmedabad A major fire broke out at a popular snack factory, located near the iconic Kalupur bridge in Ahmedabad on Tuesday evening. The factory, which produces a variety of snacks including biscuits and crackers, was engulfed in flames around 9 pm, sparking panic among nearby residents. Eyewitnesses claimed that the fire started suddenly without any warning signs, spreading rapidly throughout the factory's premises. Firefighters from the Ahmedabad Fire Brigade (AFB) were called to the scene within minutes, but not before the blaze had already consumed a significant portion of the building. "We received a distress call around 9:15 pm and responded promptly," said an AFB official. "Our teams worked tirelessly to contain the fire and prevent it from spreading to nearby buildings." The cause of the fire is still unknown, although preliminary investigations suggest that it may have been triggered by an electrical short circuit or human error. Fortunately, no casualties were reported in the incident, but the damage caused to the factory's infrastructure is significant. The exact extent of the destruction is yet to be assessed, as authorities are still working to put out the remaining hotspots and carry out a thorough investigation. The snack factory, which employs over 50 workers, has been shut down indefinitely pending further investigation. The loss of production and potential revenue could have serious implications for the local community, many of whom depend on the factory's products for their livelihoods. As the authorities continue to probe into the cause of the fire, residents in the surrounding areas are left wondering about the safety measures in place at such high-risk industries.
