A fire broke out in a local market in Azad Kashmir’s city of Muzaffarabad on Wednesday.
The fire swept into at least 30 shops, along with four hotels and rest houses. No loss of life has been reported so far.
With no firefighting facility at the Tehsil headquarters near the site of the incident, shopkeepers and residents have been trying to control the fire on their own.
The fire has been gaining momentum due to the wooden construction of most shops and houses in the area.
This incident has occurred a day after when a huge fire in Lahore’s Anarkali market ravaged a three-storey building, leaving 13 people dead.
