Guwahati: A fierce fire tore through Shivasthan Bazar in Samaguri, Assam. The flames leveled four to five local shops. Property losses climbed into the range of several lakh rupees. The fire moved fast. It turned inventory and building structures into ash.
Local residents pointed to an electrical short circuit as the likely spark. The inferno consumed everything in its path before help arrived. A team from the Fire and Emergency Services eventually reached the scene. They knocked down the flames and stopped the spread.
Officials are still working to determine the total financial impact of the event. The site remains a wreck. Assessing the damage is the current priority, though the full cost is "yet to be assessed" according to initial reports.
