A fire erupted in the Hazratganj Silver Apartment's basement, damaging multiple vehicles but leaving residents unharmed. Firefighters managed to contain the inferno in an hour, protecting ten additional vehicles from destruction. Officials suspect the cause was a spark in a scooter that ignited the blaze.

On Thursday morning, a fire broke out in the basement of Silver Apartment located in Hazratganj, damaging several vehicles. The blaze destroyed seven two-wheelers and four four-wheelers, but swift action by firefighters saved 10 other vehicles from being consumed by the flames. After an hour of relentless efforts, the fire department was able to extinguish the fire.
