Hyderabad, Mar 8 (Maxim News): A major fire broke out in the storeroom of a textile showroom located in a multi-storey building at Ghansi Bazaar near Madina Market in Old City on Friday night. No casualties were reported, police said.

Three fire engines were rushed to the spot and doused the fire within two hours. “The store room was full of cotton, fiber, and cloth material due to which thick smoke engulfed the surrounding areas, triggering panic among the residents,” said Charminar Inspector K. Chandra Shekar.
