Bhubaneswar (Odisha) [India], October 22 (ANI): A massive fire broke out in Bhubaneswar's Unit-1 vegetable market, resulting in the gutting of atleast 20 shops, officials said.
According to Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation Mayor Sulochana Das, a total of eight fire tenders were deployed at the incident site to extinguish the fire. No casualties were reported in the incident; however, the cause of the fire remains uncertain.
"There was a fire, so we came here. Our Corporator has also arrived now. We can see that eight fire engines are currently working to control the fire. The fire is under control now, but there were some plastic items here, which is why the fire couldn't be brought fully under control. The surrounding areas are under control. It's still unclear exactly how many shops caught fire, but the local shopkeepers are saying that 20 to 30 shops have been affected," Das told ANI.
