A devastating fire ravaged a warehouse belonging to the Adivasi Vikas Mahamandal in Palghar, Maharashtra, resulting in the destruction of an estimated 80 to 90 tons of rice. The prompt response from firefighters and local residents, who utilized four water tankers and heavy machinery, helped in containing the blaze. The inferno spread rapidly, exacerbated by the storage of rice in brown-cloth sacks. Authorities are currently evaluating the extent of the damage to ascertain the precise loss caused by the fire.
