said, “We received a call around 8.50am. Smoke had filled the shop. Our main concern was to remove chemicals kept inside as those could have led to a blast. The blaze was brought under control in an hour.” Sub-fire officer

Navrang Singh

said, “The basement can have only parking that too after taking all precautions. But here, most of the commercial complexes have shops there.”
