Surat: A dairy parlour in the posh locality of Adarsh Society in Athwalines was gutted in fire that broke out on Friday midnight. Fire officials said that incident happened at around 11.40 pm at the Jalaram Dairy located near SMC’s Athwa zone office.
Locals noticed smoke coming out of the shop and alerted the owner and the fire department. Firemen from Majura Gate and Man Darwaja stations were pressed into service.
“After breaking the shutters, we encountered a lot of smoke. But we managed to douse the blaze in half-an-hour,” said Maruti Sonwane, station officer. “A short-circuit might have started the fire. The furniture and electronic appliances were damaged due to the fire,” said Sonwane.
