The fire breaks out in the Pachanadi Dumping Yard repeatedly and now the fire has broken out again.
Residents of Pachanadi, Mangalanagara and Mandara areas were literally devastated by the smoke that broke out in the dumping yard on January 6. Again fire broke out in a heap of waste on its opposite side on Sunday February 5.
However, the fire brigade rushed to the spot and have doused the fire. The fire that re-erupted covered the entire garbage heap. As a result, the smoke rose thickly to the sky and engulfed the entire environment.
