Authorities said the cause of the fire has not yet been determined. At present, there are no confirmed reports of injuries or fatalities, though teams are continuing to assess the situation and inspect the affected factory premises.

Residents living near the site were advised to stay away from the area while firefighting and rescue operations continued. Traffic in the vicinity was temporarily diverted to allow fire engines and emergency personnel to operate without obstruction.

The incident has once again drawn attention to safety concerns in industrial areas of the capital, where outdated electrical systems, storage of flammable materials and inadequate fire safety measures can increase the risk of such accidents.

Officials said investigators will review CCTV footage and question workers and eyewitnesses to determine the exact cause of the blaze. Authorities have also urged local residents and businesses to promptly report any fire hazards and ensure proper safety protocols are followed.
