Fire breaks out at anti-drone equipment testing facility in Madhapur; no casualties

A fire erupted at Unistring Tech Solutions, a facility manufacturing anti-drone testing equipment, in Madhapur on Sunday evening, according to police reports. Fortunately, no injuries were reported due to the incident. The blaze began around 5 p.m., prompting the Madhapur police to deploy three fire tenders to the scene. Firefighters successfully contained the flames, averting further damage.

Initial reports indicate that a power cut may have triggered the fire. The electricity supply to the premises was reportedly suspended earlier in the day to enable transformer repair works. Police suspect that the power disruption could have disturbed the cooling system designed to prevent overheating of batteries within the equipment. However, the exact cause of the fire remains under investigation.

The extent of property damage is currently being assessed by the authorities. A comprehensive inspection and investigation will be conducted to ascertain the cause of the fire.
