A shopping complex, falling within the premises of an army camp in Zangli area in north Kashmir’s Kupwara district, was damaged in a fire mishap last night.
An official told GNS that a fire broke out in the shopping complex inside the 28 Infantry Division in Zangli garrison at around 10 PM yesterday.
“As the flames raged, the Fire & Emergency Services Department alongside Police and stationed army personnel swung into action to contain the flames”, the official said.
The raging flames however spread quickly to other shops in the complex making the operation difficult.
