Lucknow Slum Fire | Massive Fire Rips Through Lucknow Slum, Thick Smoke Seen Miles Away
A massive fire broke out at a slum cluster in Lucknow's Vikas Nagar area on Wednesday evening, destroying more than two dozen huts and triggering panic among residents. The blaze reportedly started in a vacant plot near Ring Road and spread rapidly due to strong winds and highly flammable materials present in the huts. Thick plumes of black smoke were visible from several kilometres away as flames engulfed the area. Several nearby hotels and automobile showrooms are located close to the site of the fire.
