A devastating fire broke out last night at a chemical factory in Haridwar, Uttarakhand, causing widespread panic and loss. One individual tragically lost their life in the blaze, and several others narrowly escaped the inferno. The factory, situated in a residential area, had been operational when the fire erupted. The flames were so intense that they could be seen from several kilometers away, with towering flames reaching the sky. The air was thick with smoke, adding to the perilous situation. At the time of the incident, some employees were working inside the factory. According to reports, one worker had just stepped outside moments before the fire began. It is alleged that chemical workers were quick to notify the fire brigade, but it is claimed that the fire brigade took over half an hour to arrive at the scene, further escalating the crisis. The delay in response has raised questions about the preparedness of emergency services in handling such disasters, particularly in industrial areas where hazardous materials are involved.
