According to a Sandesh report, a major fire broke out at midnight on the holy festival night of Diwali at the well-known Iscon Mega City apartment in Bhavnagar city. The fire started on the 9th floor of the Iscon Mega City apartment due to a short circuit.
The fire quickly turned intense, causing the valuable furniture and other belongings inside the house to be reduced to ashes. It is particularly noteworthy that Gujarat Cabinet Minister Jitubhai Vaghani resides in the same society.
Upon learning of the fire incident, Minister Jitubhai Vaghani immediately called the fire brigade department without wasting a single minute.
