No one was injured in the incident but garments were damaged due to the fire, a senior officer said.”Around 25 garment shops were severely damaged in the fire that engulfed the underground market at Unit-I Market Building area late on Diwali night,” he said.
Five fire tenders were pressed into service and it took five hours to douse the blaze, the officer said.
A preliminary report revealed that the fire broke out in a saree store and spread to adjacent shops, he said.
