Prayagraj: A major fire broke out at a garbage mound behind Mustafa Complex leading to panic in Kareli and adjoining areas on Thursday for more than two hours. However, no one was hurt in the incident.
Three fire tenders were pressed into service to douse the flames. The reason behind the fire was still unknown.
Locals demanded a probe alleging that this was the third time that a fire broke out at the same place within a fortnight. A few days ago, a couple of huts were gutted in the blaze.
Chief fire officer (Prayagraj) RK Pandey told TOI fire tenders controlled the fire before it could spread to nearby areas.
He added: "Joint team of police and fire department are probing the case and action would be initiated accordingly."

Frequent power disruptions add to heatwave woes in city
Lucknow: As Lucknow swelters, residents were found grappling with frequent power outages, compounding the misery of a relentless heatwave. From Fazullaganj to Alambagh, complaints of disrupted electricity supply, unresponsive helplines, and low voltage echo across the city, leaving families struggling with basic needs. In Keshav Nagar 1, Fazullaganj, a resident had to spend an entire night without power, calling it "extremely uncomfortable". Farhat Hussain reported a nearly three-hour outage, with customer care calls disconnected without resolution. Sachin Yadav in Faizullaganj 1's Basant Vihar Colony noted night cuts lasting over an hour for five days, with the 1912 helpline perpetually busy. Unable to connect to the helpline, few residents opted for social media to raise their voice. A user of X, who identified himself as Shivansh Saxena tweeted around 2.30 pm about a power outage in Jankipuram sector-D. Similar power outage was reported by another X user in the Amrai area of MVVNL's Gomtinagar zone jurisdiction. In Lucknow Central zone, a Rajajipuram resident Pooja Shukla highlighted a cascading crisis: no electricity means no water supply, leaving her family in a severe shortage. In Alambagh, Ayushi Singh, a working professional, struggled to cook and sleep due to night outages, affecting her work performance. Neetu Mishra in Alambagh Saketpuri described daily cuts, with power flickering every 15-30 minutes, calling it a "troubling routine." While in Amausi zone, Diksha Gaur from Aashiana Sector M complained about low voltage, which rendered fans and ACs useless. According to MVVNL official source, "All field units are working round the clock to attend any power outage complaint instantly. In fact, the discom is also using social media tools to immediately post updates about the estimated time for resolving the power outage and attach images of the on-duty team which gives a sense of assurance to power consumers." The source added, "During summer the power demand is at peak. The system breaks down due to overload, therefore to tackle such situations, the field team is always on standby, to repair faults."

Dahod medicos return home after plane crash at hostel
Vadodara: Students from Dahod district studying at BJ Medical College (BJMC) returned home after the plane crashed into hostel buildings on the campus. Some had left the hostel mess after lunch just before the accident. According to officials on Friday, the crash killed three medical students and the wife of a medical student. The students who survived included those from Dahod, who headed home. Sources said that only interns and postgraduate students from Dahod are now staying at the college. Bhavya Dhanka, an MBBS student from Dahod, told mediapersons that they were in their rooms when they heard the loud sound of a plane. They thought it was a plane flying low and did not imagine it would crash. Dhanka said they had gone to the same mess where the plane struck for lunch. "We finished lunch and went to our rooms. We were in our rooms when the crash happened and rushed to the site," he said. Dhanka added that students started rushing injured people to the hospital on whatever vehicle they found.
