Bharatpur, 02 Apr (HS):- About ten shops were razed

in a fire that broke out in the Sewar Kasba Vegetable Market on Tuesday night. The

fire spread as three gas cylinders exploded due to heat.

Local people tried to control the fire, but had to

inform the Fire Brigade as the blaze went beyond their control. Fire tenders

from Bharatpur, Nadbai, and Civil Defence Department worked for hours to

control the fire. The cylinders kept in tea stalls and small eateries exploded, expanding the magnitude of the fire.

The cause of the fire and the losses incurred are

being investigated.
