But because the yard is next-door to a petrol pump, there is fear that the flames could spread to the sensitive area, which could be quite catastrophic. The cause of the fire is not yet known
A total of 10 fire tenders from across the state were rushed to the site. Bringing the fire under control is of top priority especially since there is a petrol pump nearby. Tenders have come in from Kundai, Ponda, Valpoi, Margao, Curchorem, Bicholim and Panjim headquarters.
Locals and Panchayat members allege that the scrapyard is illegal and a court case has been filed for it’s removal. However, the order was reportedly stayed. Here’s what the locals and panch members had to say.
