GUWAHATI: A fire broke out at Bijulee Bhawan in Guwahati’s Paltan Bazar area around 4:02 pm on Friday, with no casualties reported so far.
Upon receiving the alert, the fire department dispatched 7-8 fire brigades to tackle the blaze, which swiftly spread to the fifth floor of the building.
Emerging reports suggest that an electrical fault within the structure may have triggered the fire.
