Fire breaks out in Canara Bank at Karmanghat

A minor fire broke out in the Canara Bank branch at Karmanghat in the early hours of Tuesday. No casualties were reported, police said. Officials suspect a short circuit led to the fire.

Those passing by noticed the fire and smoke from the bank and alerted the fire department and police, after which fire personnel



rushed to the spot and doused the fire immediately.

“The bank was closed when the incident occurred, so none were hurt,” an official said, adding that an air-conditioner and a fan were damaged.

The Saroornagar police are investigating.
