The cause of fire, however not ascertained yet, is believed to be a shortcircuit.According to the city police, a fire broke out in Govind Plastics, a three-storey building with large stock of plasticware on Monday morning at 5 am. The fire spread uncontrollably because of the combustible nature of the material in the godown.“Soon the fire engulfed an adjacent building, which also had a huge stock of bicycles and tyres. This once threw the situation beyond control with a looming threat to other buildings in the vicinity”, said the police. Considering the intensity of the fire, the fire tenders of the municipal corporation appeared inadequate and the assistance of the Army and Air Force was sought by the administration, who also sent their fire tenders.
