Srinagar: A major fire broke out in the densely populated Habba Kadal area here in which several houses were gutted, police said.
No causality is, however, reported so far, they said. The fire broke out from a house in Habba Kadal and soon engulfed the nearby houses, officials said.
So far, three houses have been gutted in the fire and the blaze is spreading to other houses, they said.
Fire tenders have been pressed into service but the narrow lanes in the area is causing difficulty in bringing the blaze under control, they said.
The entire area is in danger as the houses are old, mostly made of wood, and constructed very close to each other, they said.
