As many as 40 makeshift sheds were gutted after an accidental fire broke out at the labourers’ colony in Veerannapalya in Govindapura in Bengaluru on Saturday (April 12, 2025) night. Fortunately, no one was injured in the accident.
Residents of the colony, employed in a toy factory and daily wagers from other parts of the State, rushed to the safety along with their family members, as soon as they spotted the fire at one of the sheds. The fire soon engulfed adjacent sheds, destroying goods and material worth several lakhs.
