The southern state's FoxLink facility, which manufactures iPhone charging cables, was completely destroyed by fire on Monday, although no one was hurt. The majority of the factory's fire protection equipment, according to the fire department, was inoperative. According to a government official, An inquiry has been started by the industries department, which is in charge of guaranteeing the welfare and safety of workers in the state. According to Ramakrishna Reddy, deputy chief inspector of factories, the government is "investigating the fire disaster at Foxlink facility and, over the next couple of days, is trying to explore how the fire transpired." Reddy said that based on his first evaluation, there were no immediate safety issues for employees, since only a small number of workers needed to be sent to the hospital for first aid when they complained of feeling lightheaded as a result of the occurrence. On Wednesday, Foxlink stated that it is looking into the fire's origin and "working diligently to restart production." Given that Foxlink was a "major supplier," the event has caused the US tech giant Apple to have supply chain worries in India.
