Massive fire damages Gujarat’s Surat textile market, sending shockwaves among textile traders
AHMEDABAD: A massive fire ripped through the famous Shyam Sangini textile market in Surat's Saroli area on Wednesday, triggering a 10-hour firefighting operation. The flames only grew, charring the buildings.
The blaze reportedly broke out at midnight on the upper floors. The fire quickly spread to other floors, prompting the Surat Fire Department to issue a full-scale “brigade call” across the city.
Although firefighters managed to partially bring the fire under control by the morning, the relief proved short-lived.
