Massive Fire Engulfs Non-Operational Biogas Plant in Bhopal's Shahjahani Park

Massive Fire Engulfs Non-Operational Biogas Plant in Bhopal's Shahjahani Park

Imagine a big park in Bhopal where there used to be a special plant that turned cow dung into gas.

This plant hadn't been used for a long time.

One Sunday evening, a huge fire started nearby, in some dry grass and trash.

The fire grew so big that thick, black smoke went high into the sky and could be seen from far away.

Firefighters rushed to the scene, but it took them a while to get there because of a nearby event causing traffic jams.

They had to work hard for about an hour and a half to put out the flames, even using special machines.

Luckily, no one got hurt.

The grown-ups are now trying to figure out exactly why the fire started, thinking it might have been an electrical problem.

They are also investigating why there was so much trash and plastic near the plant.
