Balasore: A fire in a four-storey supermarket in Odisha’s Balasore town Wednesday damaged the structure, officials said.
However, no casualty was reported in the fire at the building along the FM College Road, they said
Ten fire tenders were pressed into service to douse the blaze, first spotted around 3am, a fire brigade official said.
“It took nearly six hours to bring the situation under control. Fire brigade personnel had difficulties reaching the building through the narrow approach road,” another official said.
An electric short-circuit was suspected to have triggered the fire, but the exact cause is yet to be ascertained, he added.
