On Thursday, fire broke out at a rubber manufacturing facility located in Katedan industrial zone, within the Rajendranagar area of Rangareddy district of Hyderabad. Although the fire triggered widespread panic as flames and thick smoke billowed into the sky, authorities confirmed that there were no casualties.

The fire occurred at Shivam Rubber Factory, known for producing rubber mats for automobiles. Officials noted that the large stockpile of rubber on-site contributed to the intensity of the fire and the dense column of smoke that spread through the surrounding area.

Firefighters arrived swiftly at the scene, deploying four fire engines to tackle the inferno. Initial estimates suggest the property loss exceeds Rs 10 lakh. Police have launched an investigation to determine the cause of the incident.
