Chaubey said, "Firefighters used saw cutters to cut open the shutter and entered the showroom to douse the flames." Four initial fire tenders were dispatched, with a total of ten eventually rushed to the scene. To allow smoke to escape, firefighters broke glass panes of the building. Before the arrival of firefighters, mall security personnel and management staff had already evacuated approximately 50 people from inside the building.
Short circuit likely cause of fire
By 12:30 pm, the fire was successfully brought under control. However, efforts continue to clear residual smoke from the building. "The smoke from the fire has filled the building, and efforts are still on to remove the smoke," said Chaubey. He also stated that a short circuit is suspected to be the cause of the fire. Further details regarding this incident are awaited.
