Fire breaks out in grocery store in Ashulia

A fire broke out at a grocery store in Norsinghpur of Ashulia, due to a gas cylinder leakage. Upon receiving the news, four fire service units have arrived to control the flames.

The fire started at around 7:00pm on Saturday, May 10, at the shop of Karim Mia, located on the Norsinghpur-Kashimpur regional road in Ashulia. A total of four units, two from Zirabo and two from DEPZ Fire Service, are working to control the fire at the scene. Further details will be provided later.
