One Maruti van was completely reduced to cinders when fire broke out inside an automobile workshop in the process of welding along Yaiskul Police Lane, opposite to MDU.
According to information culled from the spot, the van's rear portion of the body was being welded at Khogen Workshop at around 1pm today when a devastating fire broke out suddenly as the petrol tank turned out to be leaky.

The fire spread to a Tata DI mini truck which was parked close to the van and its seat was gutted.
