Massive Fire Destroys Around 40 Shops Near Jammu Railway Station Market
A massive fire broke out late Sunday night at Shiv Market near Jammu Railway Station, gutting around 40 shops and a hotel. The blaze, suspected to have started from a short circuit, spread rapidly due to winds and the market's narrow layout, challenging firefighting efforts. No casualties were reported, but the fire caused extensive damage to shops selling dry fruits, blankets, and food supplies, with losses estimated in crores. Officials and local authorities responded promptly, and the fire was controlled after several hours.
