Notably, on Friday, a disastrous fire erupted at a tent house based in Bhopal's Bag Mughalia area. Four explosions were heard back-to-back. Nearly 60 LPG cylinders were stored in the godown. Of them, 15 exploded, the officials said.
Eyewitnesses said that the fire started with the curtain first. Five employees present at the spot tried to douse the fire, but the flames soon spread to the LPG cylinder, and three blasts occurred one after another.
As many as 10 fire brigades rushed to the spot to extinguish the inferno. At the same time, 50 to 60 cylinders kept inside the godown were relocated to prevent further blasts, said fire department officials.
Fortunately, no casualties were reported.
