Fire at Bhopal Bridal Studio Contained After Delayed Fire Tender Response
A fire broke out on Friday afternoon at Nema Designer Studio, a bridal lehenga shop in Bhopal's crowded Chowk Bazaar, likely caused by a short circuit. The blaze destroyed goods worth lakhs and caused panic among shoppers and shopkeepers. Narrow lanes and encroachments delayed fire tenders by nearly an hour, though local residents helped control the fire before firefighters arrived. Three fire tenders and 12 personnel contained the fire within about 50 minutes, preventing its spread to nearby shops. No injuries were reported, and authorities are investigating the cause.
