Recently in a horrifying incident, a massive fire broke out causing two cooking gas cylinders to explode at a local biriyani restaurant in the Haider Para area of Siliguri. The incident created widespread panic among local residents. According to reports, the fire followed by the blast caused substantial damage to the surrounding area. The local residents immediately informed the fire department and the officials of the Bhakti Nagar police station about the incident. Subsequently, two fire brigade vehicles actually arrived at the scene shortly after being alerted. The fire-fighters faced significant challenges but managed to bring the fire under control.
Significantly, the owner actually closed the shop late at night and left the shop’s refrigerator running overnight. In fact preliminary investigations by the fire department suggest that the fire might have been caused by a short circuit in the refrigerator. This is a very sad incident and people need to take it very seriously so that this thing does not happen in future by doing work with safety.
