Indore (Madhya Pradesh) witnessed a devastating fire at an excise department warehouse near Silicon City on Tuesday afternoon. The blaze engulfed 13 seized vehicles and an auto-rickshaw parked inside the warehouse, located in Kadambari Nagar. Firefighters battled the inferno for several hours, eventually extinguishing it with 20,000 liters of water.
The warehouse's exterior was locked, and it was surrounded by thick vegetation. Authorities suspect that a discarded cigarette or matchstick may have sparked the blaze, as the area was covered in dry grass. The excise department had previously seized the vehicles during crackdowns on illegal liquor; they were old and empty at the time of the fire. The exact cause of the incident is still under investigation.
