Local police and an ambulance have also arrived at the scene. Owing to the heavy inflow of vehicles on the busy road, traffic on the arterial road has come to a halt.
The area is full of crowded busy lanes and a nightmare for fire tenders. A few years back, properties worth over Rs 100 crore were gutted in a fire incident.
Details regarding casualties, if any, and cause of fire are awaited.
