On Friday morning, a fire broke out in the branch of Punjab National Bank located in Bikaner’s Modern Market. The incident was reported when smoke was seen coming out of the main gate of the bank at around six-seven in the morning. Swift action was taken as people immediately called the fire brigade and informed the bank officials.

Fortunately, the fire did not cause significant damage. Although the furniture, computers, and air conditioners were burnt, the fire did not reach the strong room, which prevented any major damage. Bank manager Madan Soni assured that only the ACs and light fittings were affected by the fire and that the strong room remained unharmed, as it is fireproof.

The fire brigade promptly arrived at the scene after receiving the information. Two fire engines were deployed and quickly brought the fire under control. The cause of the fire is believed to be a short circuit near the electricity meter, but further investigations will be conducted to determine the exact reasons.

Once the fire is completely extinguished, a comprehensive report detailing the extent of the damage will be prepared. The top officials of Punjab National Bank have been informed about the incident. The bank will continue to assess the situation and take necessary measures to restore normal operations as soon as possible.
