Diglipur, Dec 13: Fire Service Jawans of Diglipur Island today averted a major fire accident at Panchayat Samiti Shopping Complex of Diglipur Bazaar. According to reports a major fire broke out this afternoon in the Shopping Complex, when the owner of a mobile repair shop went for lunch, keeping the computer and other electrical repair instruments on.
As soon as the fire was noticed, people broke open the doors of the mobile repair shop and tried to douse the fire with water, available nearby. However, within minutes Police Personnel and Fire Fighters reached the spot with Fire Tender. According to reports within few minutes the fire was brought under control but the mobile repair shop was completely gutted.
However, the incident left hundreds of people shocked, when they saw that while evacuating adjacent shops as many as six gas cylinders and two drums of Kerosene were stored illegally in the shop.
Had the fire fighter reached the spot five minute late, these illegally stored combustible substances would have reduced the entire Shopping Complex of Diglipur into ashes.
