Betul (IANS). A fire in a bakery in Madhya Pradesh’s Betul district has caused a loss of more than one million rupees. The reason why the fire broke out is not known.
Shahpur SDOP HL Sharma said that due to a fire on Sunday morning in the Dilbahar bakery shop located at Shahpur block headquarters on Betul Itarsi road, 35 km from the headquarters, the goods kept in the shop were burnt to ashes.
The fire was informed by the owner of the shop, Sunil Gupta, to the police station and the city council. The city council’s tanker took about an hour to reach the shop which is 100 meters away from the city council, due to which the fire took a gigantic form.
According to eyewitnesses, it was very difficult to control the fire as the engine could not be started after the fire brigade reached the spot, the battery was called to start the engine, which took about 30 minutes, until the bakery arrived. The entire stuff kept was burnt to ashes, people say that if the fire brigade had reached the spot in time, a lot of damage could have been avoided.
