Fire at Sector 11 tavern, no casualties
Updated: 2015-05-22-06:18
A fire broke out at a tavern in the showrooms located at Sector 11 on Thursday.
A major casualty was diverted as the employees of the tavern removed two commercial LPG cylinders in time.
The incident took place around 3.30 pm. Two fire tenders took about half an hour to defuse the fire. A source in the fire brigade said though the exact cause of the fire could not be ascertained, it seemed that a short circuit caused it.
About half a dozen people were inside when the fire broke. A police team also rushed to the spot. Meanwhile, local shopkeepers claimed that the tavern was being run in the showroom without any approval from the department concerned and there could have been a huge loss.
The smoke also entered the cabins located on the first and second floor, and all occupants of upper floors rushed out. The showroom was closed from the backside.
