A significant fire broke out in Secunderabad’s Navektan Complex, suspected to be caused by an electrical short circuit. The incident occurred around 8.30 p.m., originating in the cellar of the multi-storied commercial complex. The fire quickly spread through the building, following electrical lines, creating a massive blaze resembling a ‘pillar of fire.’ Firefighters from the Fire Services Department and Disaster Response Force arrived promptly to control the situation. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries since the complex was mostly vacant due to the late hour. An investigation is underway, and the incident serves as a reminder of the importance of fire safety.
