A massive fire broke out in Khiri village, under the Rajpur police station area, shocking everyone. A sudden fire broke out in the tent house warehouse owned by Jhoolan Lal, a resident of the village, and quickly devastated property worth lakhs of rupees.

According to reports, Jhoolan Lal has been in the tent house business for many years. His warehouse housed awnings, decorative items, generators, bedding, and other valuable equipment. Around 4 pm, a spark from an electrical short circuit suddenly engulfed the warehouse. No one was nearby at the time, allowing the fire to spread slowly. When thick smoke and intense flames began to rise, panic gripped the village.

Upon learning of the incident, hundreds of villagers, including social workers Mohammad Wasim, Rohit Pal, Chhotu Pal, Abhimanyu Prajapati, Gayasuddin Ansari, Kameshwar Singh, Pradeep Shah, Guddu Lal, and former village head Kamlesh Singh, rushed to the scene. Together, they began extinguishing the fire by turning on nearby submersible pumps. Meanwhile, the fire brigade team arrived at the scene, and after considerable effort, the flames were brought under control.

However, by then, goods worth over 10 lakh rupees stored in the warehouse had been destroyed. The villagers expressed their deep condolences to the victim, Jhoolan Lal, and demanded appropriate compensation from the administration. This fire incident has become a topic of discussion in the village, and people have demanded the electricity department take concrete steps to prevent such incidents.
