Andhra Pradesh Iphones

Andhra Pradesh has launched an investigation into what caused a fire at the factory of Apple supplier Foxlink that led to the collapse of part of the building and disrupted production, a government official said on Wednesday.

Foxlink's factory is located in the Chittoor district of India's Andhra Pradesh state and is unlikely to resume full operations for two months, raising supply chain concerns for the US tech giant, Reuters reported this week.

Apple supplier Foxlink's factory in southern India is unlikely to resume full operations for two months after a fire incident, raising concerns of supply chain disruptions for the iPhone maker, a source with direct knowledge told Reuters on Tuesday.

Apple supplier Foxlink has halted production at its assembly facility in the Southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh and evacuated 400 of its employees after a massive fire on Monday, two local government officials told Reuters.

A 20-year-old was beaten with sticks, abused and tonsured for allegedly stealing an iPhone from filmmaker and Telugu Big Boss participant Nutan Naidu's house. Seven people, including the filmmaker's wife, have been charged under several sections of the Indian Penal Code, including attempt to murder over the incident, the police said.

Andhra Pradesh was told earlier this month by its government that it is 17,500 crores in debt, which means there's little wriggle room to help farmers with loan waivers or to upgrade infrastructure in cities. But the broke state's law-makers aren't being left wanting - 175 members of the legislative assembly have been gifted an iPhone6 each.
