Indore witnessed two fire incidents along Khandwa Road between late Monday night and early Tuesday morning, one at a marriage garden and another at a cowshed (gaushala), resulting in burn injuries to two animals.
Fire at Radha Krishna Garden
Around 11:30 pm, fireworks during a wedding procession ignited nearby bushes and a portion of the tent at Radha Krishna Garden in Pipalyarao, according to eyewitness accounts. The fire caused brief panic among the guests, but some of them managed to extinguish the flames before they could spread further.
Second Fire at Cowshed
Another incident occurred at approximately 4:30 am at a cowshed near Shanti Farm House in Ayodhyapuri. Upon receiving the alert, the fire department dispatched a team that battled the blaze for nearly two hours. Firefighters used approximately 25,000 litres of water to bring the fire under control.
Fire personnel managed to evacuate several cattle trapped inside the burning structure. Officials confirmed that while most animals were saved, two suffered burns. The cause of the fire at the cowshed has not yet been determined.
These incidents highlight the need for fire safety measures during celebrations and in animal shelters. Authorities are investigating the causes to prevent future occurrences.
