Deployed elements utilised available resources, including a water bowser, to actively assist in the firefighting efforts.

Demonstrating high standards of alertness and humanitarian commitment, the troops implemented effective control measures to contain the blaze.

Due to this well-coordinated response, the fire was brought under control in a timely manner, preventing a potentially major disaster and minimising further damage to the area.

While the estimated loss of property is approximately Rs 20 lakh, there were no reported casualties or injuries.

Following the successful containment of the fire and after ensuring complete safety and normalcy in the vicinity, all deployed elements were withdrawn.

This prompt intervention highlights the steadfast commitment of the force to provide immediate relief and ensure the safety of citizens during emergencies.
