“People were busy praying when the fire started. They were relocated from the place for sometime. Fire tenders arrived and reached the spot and contained the fire,” said Syed Rashed Farazuddin, former corporator Tolichowki.
Later, fire officials began examining the cause of the incident. Initial findings suggest that a short circuit in one of the shops may have triggered the blaze. As the fire spread, a few small LPG cylinders kept in the gas stove repair shop reportedly exploded, which further intensified the flames for a short period.
