Assam: Huge Fire Breaks Out at Dichang Resort, Sonapur

In the wee hours on June 28th, a huge fire and loud explosion occurred at Dichang Resort in Sonapur, Guwahati, according to sources.

A large fire at the Dichang Resort in Sonapur started, and loud explosions soon followed on the wee hours of 28th June. Initial reports state that as the enormous flames started to spread across the resort, a number of LPG cylinders exploded inside.

A team from the fire department and other emergency services quickly arrived at the scene and started an effort to put out the flames. As the flames continue to rage, information obtained indicates that the fire department’s officers are still having difficulty putting the blaze under control.

The huge fire’s source is still unknown at this time. After the fire has been extinguished, a thorough investigation will show what caused the fire to start in the first place.

In addition, property damage is estimated to be worth several lakhs since images from the site reveal completely destroyed pandal decorations, presumably for a forthcoming event.
