The fire started out from the shop of Mustakin Miya which ended up spreading to 37 more shops. All the shops destroyed in the accident were made mostly out of wood.
Fires fighters from Nepal Army, Nepal police and Rajbiraj municipality took control of the blaze after desperate attempts for several hours.
