A devastating fire broke out at Brahmaputra Valley Fertilizer Corporation Limited's ammonia plant in Namrup, Assam, just two weeks before Prime Minister Modi's scheduled visit to inaugurate a new fertilizer project nearby. While no casualties were reported, the incident raises safety concerns as the Prime Minister is expected to lay the foundation stone for the ambitious Ammonia-Urea complex on December 21.
