Fire Destroys Shops Near Maa Tarini Temple

Keonjhar: Tension gripped the area near Ghatagaon Maa Tarini Temple in Keonjhar district after a massive fire destroyed over 10 prasad shops late last night. The fire broke out near Gate number 2 of the popular temple, causing significant damage to prasad items worth lakhs of rupees.

Though the exact cause of the fire is yet to be determined, it is suspected that a short circuit in the area may have sparked the flames. The shops, set up in close proximity and in an unstructured manner, likely contributed to the rapid spread of the fire.

Fire services quickly arrived at the scene and worked to control the blaze. No casualties have been reported, and further details on the incident are awaited.
