MAPUSA:
A fire broke out at Reliable Printers shop located in Om Chambers building at Faira Baixa, Mapusa due to a short circuit. The computers and other equipment in the shop have been burnt.
The incident took place around 2 am on Thursday. Due to short circuit the fire broke out in the front portion of the shop... Air conditioners, laptops, printers, TV screens, inverters, CCTV cameras, tables, chairs and other electrical equipment were burnt.
Fortunately, the fire did not spread to the attic of the shop and the interior cabin, hence major damage was avoided. Shop owner Nilesh Sangodkar mentioned that he has sustained the loss of about rupees 5 lakhs.
Since it was raining heavily at the time of the incident no one in the building could notice that shop has caught fire. The accident came to light when the shop was opened in the afternoon. The officials of the electricity department visited the site and carried out the inspection.
