Police, fire department officials and the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) converged on the ILGIM premises in EcoTech-3 after a fire erupted on the night of July 4. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, though early reports suggest it originated in the electronic PCB chip production line. The structural collapse that followed claimed the lives of two firefighters, prompting senior officials to express deep sorrow. A comprehensive inquiry will examine compliance with industrial safety standards, fire prevention measures, and the integrity of the building's load‑bearing elements.
