Seeing the fire spreading, the fire department was informed at around 10:00 pm. Fire department vehicles brought the fire under control.
B N Gupta, a resident of Supertech Upcountry says, “A large number of students live on rent in E1 and E2 towers who go to their colleges in the morning. Due to this, the sweepers are not able to collect the garbage from their flat. These students dump the garbage downstairs. Dumping a large amount of dry garbage creates a heap of garbage. Despite the accumulation of garbage, the maintenance team does not clean it. Many fires have occurred in the past due to bachelors throwing away smoked cigarettes.”
