Along with all the articles including grocery and household items as well as cash kept inside them, altogether 9 different types of business establishment have been gutted beyond redemption in a ravaging inferno which broke out at Sapormeina bazaar late last night.
Reports culled from the incident spot suggested that the inferno which broke out at around midnight was sparked from an electric short circuit.
As the grocery shop was a concrete building no substantial damage was caused to the structure even though all the goods kept inside it have been reduced to cinders.

The ravaging fire was put under control before it could engulf other nearby shops with the help of Sub-Fire Station Kangpokpi Service in addition to the assistance of the general public.
The worth of properties destroyed in the fire could not be estimated immediately.
