On Sunday afternoon, a devastating fire broke out at an animal farm in Bhathera village, Rewari district, Haryana, India, leading to the tragic death of approximately 100 goats. The incident, reported around 3 PM, may have been caused by a short circuit or by someone deliberately igniting chaff while the owner was away. Locals from the nearby Nangal Mundi Bus Stand alerted authorities, and within fifteen minutes, two fire tenders arrived to contain the blaze, saving the remaining livestock. At the time of the fire, there were about 120 to 130 goats on the farm. A team of veterinarians was dispatched to treat the injured animals, some of which were later moved to local animal healthcare facilities. The secluded location of the farm, lacking CCTV coverage, complicates the investigation into potential foul play. Rewari police officials have stated that a formal complaint from the farm owner is still pending, and an FIR will be filed based on the owner's input once received.
