KATHMANDU: A fire that broke out at a garment factory in Bhimsengola this morning reportedly gutted property worth Rs 10 million.
According DSP Rewati Dhakal, In-charge of Metropolitan Police Circle, Baneshwor, the cause behind the fire is suspected to be an electric short circuit.
The fire that erupted at around 8 am was taken under control by locals and police. “The garment factory was situated on the first floor of the building,” DSP Dhakal told THT Online. “It luckily did not spread onto other storey of the building.”
It took an hour for the police and the locals to douse the fire. Investigations are underway, DSP Dhakal said.
