A gift shop in Kanak Nagar was gutted on Tuesday due
to suspected electric short-circuit.
When the shop-owner opened the shop, he noticed the
fire and tried to douse it but later called the fire
control room at around 7.10 a.m. Motorcycle fire
fighters rushed to the spot and tried to put out the
fire.
But they had to call for reinforcement when the fire
began to rise.
The fire tenders came at around 8.50 a.m., one and
half hours later, and it took over an hour to douse the
fire.
The shop situated in Sultanpalya was three-storeyed
building. There were six houses on the first second
and third floor and the residents were evacuated to
safety by the people.
