Warangal: A major fire accident reported in Mogilicherla village of Geesukonda mandal, Warangal district, resulted in the complete destruction of maize crops spread across 30 acres. The incident has left farmers in distress as the fully harvested produce was reduced to ashes.

According to sources, local farmers had harvested maize and laid the cobs out to dry along the roadside between Geesukonda and Mogilicherla. On Sunday night, a farmer reportedly set fire to dry maize stalks in his field, which accidentally spread to nearby areas. The flames rapidly engulfed adjoining fields due to dry weather and strong winds, escalating into a large-scale blaze.
