New Delhi: A massive fire broke out at a plastic factory in Goblej village of Kheda district in Gujarat on Monday. Eight fire tenders were rushed to the spot to combat the blaze, according to ANI.

No casualties or injuries have been reported so far.

In a similar incident, a massive fire broke out at a landfill site in the Chelora area of Kannur district early Sunday (May 28). The fire began around 4 AM at the massive waste site, which spans over 20 acres and is located 10 kilometres from Kannur city, news agency PTI reported citing a Chakkarakkal police official.

With the assistance of several fire tenders stationed on the scene, the fire was brought under control in about an hour.

Kannur Corporation manages the waste site, and their mayor claimed that the fire was started on purpose. 

"Things were going on smoothly here. The biomining work was being effectively carried out. Some people who were not happy with how things were going on here, probably set the fire. Else there was no way a fire could have occurred there," Mayor T O Mohanan was quoted as saying by PTI. 

He stated that while the entire site measured approximately 23 acres, the waste was only dumped in a 5-6 acre area, and the fire had started at one small end of the same.
