The fire broke out at around 6:30 pm at a building, used as a tannery, on 3 Maher Ali Lane in the area. It is not yet known whether any people are stuck inside, the official said.
"The cause of the fire is not yet known. Our personnel are working on a war footing to douse it. There were chemicals, rexin, and clothes stored inside the building, which helped the fire spread quickly," he added.
