A devastating fire broke out on Sunday morning at a two-storey Oil Godown building at Rawanbhata locality in Raipur under Khamtarai police station area.
The fire incident was so devastating that slabs of the double storey Godown caves in as some lPG cylinders stored inside the building exploded. Goods worth rupees millions reduced to ashes in the fire but human casualty reported to far.
Station House Officer, Khamtarai, there was no one of the oil company inside the Godown when the fire broke out.
Police said Dinesh Sharma was reported to be owner of the Godown who had rented it to a distributer of a renowned refined cooking oil company.
A tea stall owner, just next to the Godown, spotted smog billowing out from the Godown and he alerted the the other shopkeepers in nearby areas who in response called the Khamtarai police and the fire tenders.
Six fire tenders struggled for hours to contain the raging fire.
