Srinagar (PTI): A fire broke out in a five-storey commercial building near the Lal Chowk city centre here on Saturday, but was doused before it could spread in the congested business hub, officials said.

They said firefighters recovered 19 gas cylinders during the operation and there were no casualties in the incident.

Assistant Director, Fire and Emergency Services, Aqib Mir, said, "The fire originated from the attic portion of the building, which houses the kitchen of a restaurant. The cause of the fire is being ascertained."

"The attic was severely damaged. There were no casualties," he said.

The firefighters managed to contain the damage by swiftly dousing the blaze using a hydraulic platform, Mir said.

During the firefighting operation, 19 gas cylinders were recovered from the spot, he said.

"We have informed the concerned police station," he added.

Mir appealed to people not to store combustible substances at home or commercial places.
