A fire broke out in the building of State Bank of India at Juhi Gaushala area of the city on Wednesday causing major damage to furniture and official documents. The flames were noticed in the morning hours, said police officials.
“Flames were seen coming out of one of the rooms of the bank following which the staff and customers vacated the building immediately. Soon, someone from the public, alerted the police control room,” said a bank employee.
Several official documents, besides furnitures were destroyed in the incident as fire rapidly spread in the building.
