The constable raised the alarm and the unit control room immediately informed the town’s fire brigade and the power department to cut electricity to the area to prevent any spread of the inferno.Two fire tenders along with CRPF water tanker and personnel fought the blaze and brought it under control past midnight.
“A big hazardous calamity was stopped by the quick response of authorities as the shops included lubricants, gas cylinders, tyres etc which were highly inflammable in nature,” said 120 Bn CRPF Commandant B C Dalbehera.
