A three-storey footwear store in Poonch’s bustling main market succumbed to a fierce fire, officials confirmed. The blaze, engulfing the entire building, sent plumes of thick smoke billowing into the sky.
Alerted by the flames, fire tenders swiftly reached the scene and launched a determined dousing operation. Thankfully, they managed to bring the inferno under control before it could spread further.
A video circulating online captured the dramatic scene, showing flames leaping from the building windows and thick smoke obscuring the surrounding area. While the cause of the fire remains undetermined, officials are currently investigating the incident.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported during the incident. However, the complete destruction of the store has undoubtedly caused significant losses to the owners.
