Amaravati, Nov 9 (PTI) Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Monday directed officials to step up vigilance and take precautionary measures following three separate fire incidents reported in Rajam, Gannavaram and Tiruvuru.
Naidu enquired about the incidents and expressed concern over the property damage, particularly in Rajam in Vizianagaram district, where an automobile showroom was gutted in a major fire.
The blaze reportedly broke out after firecrackers burst during Deepavali celebrations accidentally landed on the showroom premises, triggering a fire that caused extensive damage.
“Officials must stay alert and take all necessary precautions in view of the fire incidents reported in Rajam, Gannavaram and Tiruvuru,” Naidu said in an official release.
Senior Fire Services officials informed the chief minister that personnel rushed to the spot soon after receiving information and brought the flames under control.
In another incident in Gannavaram in Krishna district, sparks from firecrackers accidentally fell on a furniture shop, triggering a fire. At Tiruvuru in NTR district, a separate shop was gutted following a short circuit.
Naidu directed officials to remain vigilant and ensure that necessary precautions were taken to prevent such incidents, the release said. PTI MS KH
