The devastating fire broke out in a multi-storeyed shopping complex in Hazratbal. The complex, which housed several food outlets including Hattrick and Amigos, caught fire around 11:45 AM and soon spread to other compartments. Fire and Emergency Services tried to contain the fire for hours, but it spread to nearby residential houses causing huge losses estimated to be worth crores of rupees. Locals have alleged that the use of domestic LPG cylinders at food outlets caused the fire.
