Biscuit godown gutted
Update: 2012-04-09
BANGALORE: Biscuit packets and packaged snack food worth lakhs of rupees were reduced to ashes in a fire that raged through a biscuit factory godown in Attur Layout near Yelahanka Satellite Town on Sunday.
Passersby noticed smoke coming out of the ground floor of the three-storey godown around 11am and alerted the fire department. Four fire tenders were rushed to the spot and the fire was put out in a two-hour operation.
Cartons of biscuit packets and packaged snack food and other goods stacked in the godown are believed to be gutted. The exact worth of the destroyed goods is yet to be ascertained, police said. The building had no fire-fighting equipment. Neither did it have a no-objection certificate from the fire department. The blaze is suspected to have been caused by an electrical short circuit. Yelahanka police have registered a case.
