A firecracker godown on the outskirts of Andole-Jogipet town in Sangareddy district was completely destroyed in a blaze, though no casualties were reported due to its remote location. Officials suspect fire safety lapses led to the incident.

Sangareddy: A fire broke out at a firecracker godown on the outskirts of Andole-Jogipet town, reducing the entire storage facility to ashes. Fortunately, the godown was located away from human habitation, preventing any casualties.

As the flames spread rapidly, firecrackers inside the godown ignited, sending sparks and explosions in all directions. By the time fire engines reached the site, the entire structure was consumed by fire.

The godown reportedly sourced its stock from Sivakasi and supplied firecrackers across the erstwhile Medak district.
