Guwahati: Five grocery stores in Assam's Nagaon district were completely destroyed by a massive fire that engulfed Rupohihat Tinali.
The incident happened early on Sunday morning.
Sources claim that the conflagration, which is thought to have started as a result of an electrical transformer malfunction, resulted in property losses worth about Rs 20 lakh.
Firefighters encountered more difficulties fighting the flames as the conflagration quickly spread.
Despite their best attempts, the stores eventually burned to the ground. Local law enforcement and emergency services were on the scene quickly and worked aggressively to contain the fire and limit future damage.
A house inside the Kathpara Bhai Bhai Nursery was the source of a large fire that broke out earlier on June 29 in Kathpara hamlet in Rupohihat.
The Ambagan Fire Station responded quickly to the severity of the fire, and its personnel soon arrived at the scene.
On the other hand, as many as five commercial buildings were destroyed by a significant fire in Guwahati's Maligaon, according to reports that surfaced in June.
In June,a large fire at the Dichang Resort in Assam's Sonapur started, and loud explosions soon followed.
Initial reports state that as the enormous flames started to spread across the resort, a number of LPG cylinders exploded inside.
As the flames continue to rage, information obtained indicates that the fire department's officers are still having difficulty putting the blaze under control.
The big fire's source is still unknown at this time. After the fire has been extinguished, a thorough investigation will show what caused the fire to start in the first place.
In addition, property damage is estimated to be worth several lakhs since images from the site reveal completely destroyed pandal decorations, presumably for a forthcoming event.
Last month, a large fire destroyed up to five commercial buildings in Guwahati's Maligaon neighbourhood. Five stores were reportedly destroyed in the fire that started the previous night at Maligaon's Goshala Bazar.
