Six shops damaged in Batamaloo fire incident

SRINAGAR: At least six shops were destroyed in a devastating fire incident in Batamaloo area of Srinagar on Thursday late evening.

Prepare for the greatest experience after eating a nutritious breakfast. You will travel over some of the highest passes in the world on your adventure, and you will be greeted by ever-changing vistas of the desolate landscape. Stop at the café on Khardung-La Pass, the highest all-season motorable road in the world, and take in the scenery; you'll feel as though you're on top of the world. Upon leaving Khardung-la, the terrain changes to a white sand desert as you approach the Nubra Valley, which is home to the Nubra Sand Dunes. Visit the Diskit Monastery, the oldest and biggest monastery in Ladakh, which also contains a sizable Buddha statue, if time permits.

Reports said that five to six shops have completely damaged. However, it was not immediately known whether the shops were set on fire or the incident happened accidently. Local reports suggest that smoke and flames appeared near the shops around 9:00 in the evening. However, after the arrival of Fire and Emergency men the fire was somehow controlled by them.

Meanwhile police have taken the cognizance of the incident and further investigations are going on.
