Five people were tragically killed in a fire at a road construction site located in Andhra Pradesh's Alluri Sitaramaraju district on Saturday, according to a police official. The incident may have occurred during the refuelling of a dumper truck, Superintendent of Police Amit Bardar stated. The fire is suspected to have started when workers at the Pinakota village site in Anantagiri mandal were filling a truck with diesel, as the location requires workers to transport diesel in drums due to its distance from the construction site.
Police confirmed that the fire was not caused by an explosion, but rather an accidental blaze, with five deaths currently being confirmed. An investigation into the incident is underway, with additional police teams expected to arrive at the scene in the near future.
