According to officials, the incident appears to have been triggered by a spark from firecrackers being lit during Diwali, which quickly spread due to the flammable wooden items stored inside.

Electricity in the affected section was also disconnected to prevent further hazards.

MLA Mubeen confirmed that firefighting efforts were ongoing, and thanks to quick action by local leaders, police, and the fire brigade, the fire was brought under control. No casualties have been reported so far, and the authorities continue to monitor the site to ensure safety.
