Hong Kong Fire में आग का कारण Chinese माल ? बना त्रासदी की वजह! | ABPLIVE
Wednesday ko Hong Kong ke ek high-rise residential complex me ek bhayanak aag lag gayi. Is blaze me kam se kam 75 log mar gaye. Lagbhag 300 log abhi tak laapata hain. Isse Hong Kong ka sabse deadliest fire kaha ja raha hai. Authorities fire ke kaaran ka pata laga rahi hain. Lekin log aur experts ek nayi debate me hain. Kya aag bamboo scaffolding ki wajah se phaili? Ya cheap Chinese construction nets ne flames ko fuel kiya? Hong Kong media reports ke mutabik, flames bamboo scaffolding aur mesh-covered roofs par tez speed se upar badi. Isse sawal uth rahe hain ki fire itni jaldi kaise badhi. Weibo par ek hashtag viral ho gaya — “Why Hong Kong still uses bamboo scaffolding.” Kai log keh rahe hain ki city ko Mainland China ki tarah modern scaffolding use karni chahiye. Lekin July me Hong Kong ke labour secretary ne bola tha ki government bamboo scaffolding ban nahi karegi. Kuch log bamboo ko blame kar rahe hain. Aur kuch — jo khud ko locals batate hain — keh rahe hain ki problem bamboo nahi, balki substandard Chinese netting hai. Unka kehna hai bamboo strong hota hai, jaldi nahi jalta. WHAT HAPPENED IN HONG KONG? Wednesday afternoon aag shuru hui. Ek public housing estate renovation me tha. Puri building bamboo scaffolding aur green construction mesh me wrapped thi. Aag ne poore 31-storey towers ko charo taraf se ghira liya. Firefighters ne hundreds logon ko rescue karne ki koshish ki. Thursday tak 55 deaths confirm ho gayi. Aur hazaaron missing reports aa rahi hain. Police ne construction company ke teen logon ko arrest kar liya. Charges — manslaughter, gross negligence, aur substandard materials ka istemaal. Inme flammable nets, foam-boarded windows aur cheap insulation materials shamil the. CNN ke mutabik, police ko apartment complex me polystyrene boards mile jo windows ko block kar rahe the. Fire services chief ne ise “unusual” kaha. Hong Kong ki skyline kai saalon se bamboo scaffolding se define hoti rahi hai. Kayi skyscrapers — 60 storeys tak — bamboo se cover hote hain. Ye flexible, cheap aur sustainable mana jata hai. Lekin ab iski combustibility par badi debate ho rahi hai. WHY IS BAMBOO SCAFFOLDING RISKY? Hong Kong me bamboo scaffolding decades se use ho raha hai. Cheap, light, flexible, aur narrow streets me bhi jaldi set ho jata hai. India me bhi ye hi system common hai, except big commercial buildings. Par bamboo ka ek issue hai — Ye flammable hota hai. Hong Kong Polytechnic University ke Professor Xinyan Huang ke mutabik, “Bamboo definitely flammable material hai.” Agar season dry ho, toh ek spark se fire superfast spread hoti hai. High-rise buildings me bamboo vertical hota hai. Isliye aag seedhe oopar race karti hai. Scaffolding literally ek fire ladder ban jati hai. 2019–2024 me bamboo scaffolding se jude accidents me 22 deaths ho chuki hain. Government ne ab criminal investigation shuru kar di hai. Company ke do directors aur ek consultant ko manslaughter charges me arrest kiya gaya.
