Massive fire breaks out at showroom in Chandigarh's Sector 22 market

The blaze spread gradually and engulfed the entire second floor of the building, which houses several mobile shops and a photo lab.


PTC News Desk: Massive fire broke out on the second floor of a showroom complex in Chandigarh's Sector 22 on Wednesday afternoon. The showroom is situated in one of the busiest market of the city. 


The blaze spread gradually and engulfed the entire second floor of the building, which houses several mobile shops and a photo lab. Traders said that as soon as smoke began billowing from the showroom, employees working in the photo lab and mobile outlets were immediately evacuated. No casualties have been reported so far.


Fire officials said they are still assessing the internal condition of the building.


However, traders alleged that repeated fire incidents in the market have exposed serious lapses in safety measures. They claimed that haphazard parking delayed the entry of fire tenders into the area.


Gopal K. Wadhwa, president of the traders’ association, said one fire tender got entangled in overhead wires, causing further delay in reaching the site. He added that despite repeated requests to authorities to maintain order and cleanliness, no action has been taken.
