Massive fire breaks out and Engulfs Over 200 Shops at Mao Market Nagaland

Over 200 shops were gutted as a massive fire broke out at the Mao Market in Nagaland’s capital Kohima on Monday evening, police said.

The fire was first spotted around 5 pm on the ground floor of the three-storeyed building, they said.

As the building housed structures made of wood, the fire spread fast, they added.

The fire was brought under control after more than two hours, they said.

The exact cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained, they said, adding that no casualty has been reported.
