An alcohol manufacturing plant in Nebbi District on Wednesday night went up in flames, causing a loss estimated to be in millions of shillings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Oyoma Wine factory is in Parombo Town Council in Nebbi District.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The widespread flames mainly affected two fermentation rooms which, according to sources, were being used to store highly flammable spirits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The distance between Parombo and Arua City is 100 kilometres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ronald Thomwa, the Parombo Town Council LC3 chairperson, said the fire broke out at around 10pm on Wednesday night and it was being managed by the locals before it went out of control, spreading to other rooms<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Thomwa could not immediately determine the extent of the loss that the fire caused but appealed to government to consider rescuing such distressed factories since this particular one was employing more than 2,000 workers, who have been rendered jobless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Robert Abak, the Nebbi Resident District Commissioner, said they are, among others, investigating clues by workers that the fire may have been sparked by power surge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By press time, the factory management were still locked up in a series of meetings to assess the extent of the damage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
