No casualty was reported till the report was filed while the amount of loss would be ascertained once the fire in under control.Three persons, who were inside the building when it caught fire, were injured while jumping off the third floor. They were admitted to the hospital where condition of one of them is said to be critical.The home appliances shop, Manik Sales Home Appliances, saw the the first floor catching fire that spread to the second and third floors that went up in flames along with the warehouse.The three workers at the shop saw black smoke when they decided to jump off the building.The incident took place in noon while fire tenders were still on spot to douse the fire till filing of this report. About 10 fire tenders and 15 tankers were on the job to control the situation but little delay was inevitable due to the narrow lane and populated region of Golbazaar.It was also feared that neighbouring shops might also have suffered loss due to the massive fire.With plastic and kitchen appliances inside the shop, along with cylinders, it became a rather tough job for the people on job to control the situation.Police said that it was at least relieving that it was Sunday and the market was closed, else the situation would have been a lot more difficult to handle.The building belongs to Hariram Gupta and sons.This is the third big incident of fire in a fortnight. It was only last week when Tulsi Lodge located close to Golbazaar at Banjari market was gutted leading to death of five persons. In another incident, hundreds of vehicles were gutted when a huge fire enveloped the parking zone of the railway station.
