Late-night blaze causes significant losses; residents suspect foul play.

Local residents promptly alerted authorities as fire engulfed shops.

JAMSHEDPUR – Late on Sunday night, a fire unexpectedly started in small shops resembling huts near Dimna Chowk, close to the MGM police station. The fire rapidly spread to the neighboring shops.

The local residents quickly notified the fire department, which led to a fast response.

Two fire trucks from the Jharkhand Fire Department arrived at the scene to fight the fire.

Unfortunately, despite everyone’s best efforts, the fire was not able to be contained and ended up completely destroying eight shops.

The shopkeepers rushed to save their merchandise, but the fire was so intense that it proved impossible.

Pradeep Gorai, a shopkeeper who was affected, mentioned that his fruit shop, which also sold bags and helmets, was one of the shops that got burned.

After finishing his work for the day, he closed his shop and headed home. However, he received the news about the fire around 1 AM.

When he got there, the fire department was already at the scene, but unfortunately, his shop was too damaged to be saved.

Pradeep said that he estimated his losses to be around two lakh rupees.

Several other shops were also affected, including Pashupati Mahato’s fruit shop, Salil Mandal’s hotel, Jayal Gorai’s tea shop, Dutta Ji’s cosmetics shop, Vishwanath Mahato’s chicken shop, and Vrindavan Gorai’s noodles shop.

The estimated total losses from the fire are between Rs 8 and 10 lakhs.

Pradeep thought that the fire could have been intentionally started by people who are not very sociable.
