    Fires can sometimes destroy a whole business I can remember in my childhood my father ran a textile shop Unfortunately one day the shop got fire and we lost everything . We were devastated MY family was in penury. We somehow survived and later my father has to start it all over again. We must always take precautions against fire hazards. Good fire safety measures should be followed I hope there was not much damage here. We must always take help from a qualified fire protection agency to take saftery precautions against fire Fire

    I am surprised you did not blame "you know who" for this incident. And I am really surprised you did not mention how the number of shops catching fire in Central market has increased after "2014"
