KANPUR: A major fire engulfed a residential building in the densely populated Ghumni Bazaar area of the city on Sunday evening. The upper storey of the house was in flames when the last reports came in. The house belongs to a cloth merchant. The cloth godown caught fire. The flames spread in the entire house and an LPG cylinder was also engulfed. The fire tenders were finding it tough to control the flames due to the narrow lanes where the water cannons could not enter.
Meanwhile, one person died in a fire at Naveen Market on Saturday night. Gulam Ali, a vegetable shopkeeper, died when he came in contact with a live wire, which snapped and fell on him. He was rushed to the UHM Hospital, where the doctors declared him brought dead.
