A gas cylinder leak caused a fire at a tiffin centre in Hyderabad's Keesara area on Thursday morning. The leak happened at around 7.30 am while a man was preparing breakfast, triggering flames that engulfed the premises. Thick smoke billowed as people gathered outside, but no injuries were reported.
Keesara police told Siasat.com that no case has been registered yet as no complaint has been filed. Videos on social media showed the tiffin centre ablaze with people watching from a distance. Authorities are awaiting a formal complaint before taking further action.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Hyderabad’s Keesara area falls under GHMC limits, where thousands of roadside eateries operate without formal fire-safety audits. Unlike commercial kitchens that require licences from the Telangana Fire Services, tiffin centres often escape inspection. Gas-leak fires in Hyderabad have risen by 12% year-on-year, according to recent city fire department data, partly because of pilferage-prone refill cylinders used by small vendors. The next step will depend on whether local residents or the shop owner file a complaint with Keesara police, which then triggers a fire-department inspection report.
