Workers at a nearby restaurant were staying in the top floor of the two-storey building, which caught fire. A mobile shop was running in the ground floor of the building, which is owned by the same owner of the restaurant.
According to the owner of the hotel, there were no workers in the room at the time of the fire.

Goods, such as an AC, television, refrigerator, dresses, beds etc. were destroyed in the fire. None of the documents, such as passports and the residence card of the workers were lost in the fire.
“The reason behind the fire is unknown; officials came to the spot and took some samples to find out the reason behind the fire,” he added.
A fire and rescue team successfully put out the fire within an hour and half.
