SRINAGAR: A massive fire broke out late Saturday evening at the Industrial Estate, Baghi Ali Mardan Khan in Srinagar, damaging several factories and business outlets.
Witnesses told ‘Kashmir Images’ that multiple manufacturing units were destroyed in the incident at the Industrial Estate. However, the precise number of damaged facilities could not be confirmed.
A Fire and Emergency Services official said the firefighting operation began as soon as they received information about the incident.
He stated that efforts to extinguish the raging flames were ongoing despite challenging weather conditions caused by the season’s first snowfall a day earlier.
“Since the operation to douse the flames is still underway, we cannot confirm the exact extent of the damage. Our team is on the job, and hopefully, the fire will soon be controlled,” he added.
