A massive fire broke out late Wednesday night in the PVC market built illegally in the fields of Balor village on the bypass in Bahadurgarh. Soon, about 30 warehouses were engulfed in fire.

Several fire brigade vehicles reached the spot to extinguish the fire. The fire was controlled late at night. This illegal market is spread over about 5 acres.

In fact, after the ban in Delhi, plastic traders turned to Bahadurgarh in the year 2019. This business spread to many villages of Bahadurgarh in no time. There is also an illegal market in the fields of Balor village on Bahadurgarh bypass. There were about 30 warehouses here. Plastic, polythene, rubber, cloth, etc. junk was collected here. A fire suddenly broke out here late Wednesday night. The fire spread rapidly with the wind.

The families of Bihar origin present here saved their lives by running away from their slums. By the time the fire brigade team reached the spot, the fire had completely flared up. Black smoke covered the sky. The firefighters are facing a lot of difficulty in extinguishing the fire. The cause of the fire is not yet clear.

Let us tell you that illegal PVC markets have caught fire many times before in the Bahadurgarh area. Officials constantly make claims of removing these markets but no action is taken on the ground. In fact, a fire broke out in this PVC market in November 2024 as well and this fire continued to smolder for several days.
