Visakhapatnam: On Friday, a fire started at the Andhra Pradesh-based Visakhapatnam Steel Plant. Numerous firefighting trucks were sent to the scene right away.

Steel factory police inspector Kesavarao claims that after the operation, the fire was contained.

A huge fire started earlier on May 17 at Kovur, Nellore district, on First Street in Pellakuru Colony. According to officials, the fire started at a scrap factory.

The flames spread swiftly due to the site’s plastic, waste materials, and iron scrap. Locals were alarmed by the thick smoke that pervaded the neighborhood.
