Fires Break Out in Prayagraj and Delhi
Two fires happened in different places on different days.
One was in Prayagraj at a camp during the Magh Mela event.
It started because of a short circuit, and firefighters put it out quickly.
Two tents were damaged, but no one got hurt.
The other fire was at the home of a important person in Delhi.
Firefighters also put it out quickly, and no one was hurt there either.
The cause of the Delhi fire is still being looked into.
A fire broke out at a camp in the Magh Mela venue in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, on Tuesday evening.
The blaze was caused by a short circuit in the premises of Shri Ram Naam Evam Manav Prachar Sangh.
Six fire tenders arrived at the scene within two minutes and extinguished the fire.
Two tents were gutted by the fire, but there were no casualties.
The situation is now fully under control.
