A fire broke out at the Theetukkal dumpyard in Udhagamandalam late Monday night, leading to a haze of acrid smoke hanging around the dumpyard and surrounding residential areas. According to officials from the fire and rescue service at the Udhagamandalam station, it is believed that the fire was caused by a malfunctioning of the incinerator used to burn hazardous waste at the dumpyard. The fire broke out at around 8 p.m. on Monday and quickly spread around the dumpyard, with the fire visible from many parts of Udhagamandalam town.
