A massive fire broke out in a factory near the Surgical complex on the Jalandhar-Kapurthala road. The incident reportedly took place on Monday morning i.e. 22nd June 2026. It is said that the factory made surgical products. The fire was so intense that the locals could view smoke from several kilometers away. The fire also engulfed a few parts of the surrounding land within. As soon as the fire was seen, the factory officials and the fire brigade were reported. The fire fighting team came to spot in no time.
Reason of the fire still remains unknown
As the police was informed about the fire in the surgical complex, they reported as soon as possible and started their investigation. In the preliminary investigation it was concluded that the fire must be because of the short circuit in the factory while the actual reason is still not figured out. The police is trying their best to get the clear view of the case and to figure out the real and accurate reason of the fire. The fire grew intense because of the heavy wind flowing in the locality and the smoke could be seen from afar.
Difficult control on fire
The intense fire scared the public and created a sense of terror among the locals. The blaze quickly spread across a large section of the facility, sending thick black smoke into the sky that could be evidently seen from far away. The eyewitnesses immediately called the factory management and the fire brigade team to take action. The fire fighting team reported at the place of fire in time and started their large-scale firefighting operation. The intensity of the fire made it very difficult for the authorities to take control over it. The 2 hour long operation finally worked out in favor and the fire fighting team was able to put out the fire.
Reports from the police
Police teams also reached the scene and secured the surrounding area, advising residents and workers to stay away from the affected site as a precaution. In a conversation with the police officials it was reported that the extent of loss was not determined yet. However, authorities said the exact cause and the total financial loss will be known only after a detailed inquiry. Fortunately, no casualties and injuries are reported in the fire breakout. The police has taken the case into priority matters and are investigating to give out clear answers.
