At least four cosmetic shops were burned to ashes overnight after a fire engulfed Kuacjok market on Saturday, several eyewitnesses said.
Speaking to Radio Tamazuj on Sunday, the eyewitnesses said the fire, apparently due to short-circuit, broke out at one of the shops around 8:30 pm. Police officers were also seen at the scene investigating the incident.
The same eyewitnesses pointed out that large quantities of body lotions and some stationeries were consumed by the fire.
In January this year, nearly 18 houses were destroyed by a fire outbreak at Block 7 residential area near the town.
