Another big fire destroyed seven business establishments in Assam's
Nalbari district yesterday.
On Monday night, a fire was reported from a market area in Mukalmua's
Rampur. The inferno is thought to have started from a hotel called 'Bhaiti
Cabin,' according to residents.
According to Rampur residents, the fire destroyed buildings worth crores
of rupees. They further said that the roaring inferno destroyed at least seven
businesses, including a restaurant, pharmacy, hardware store, book booths,
and stationery shops.
Meanwhile, firefighting workers and police officers came on the scene
after being notified of the issue. As of now, the fire is under control.
Fortunately, no casualties or deaths have been reported as a result of the
incident.
"Around seven business establishments and shops were gutted in the
massive fire," a Rampur resident claimed of the event. We believe the fire
started as a result of a short circuit at the 'Bhaiti Cabin' hotel. It
subsequently spread to surrounding businesses, destroying two pharmacies, a
hardware store, a bookstore, and a retail store."
