A fire erupted at the SBI branch in Ghashipura, Keonjhar district late last night, burning the bank’s furniture and papers to ashes. Two fire department teams arrived and worked to extinguish the flames.
Locals noticed smoke billowing from the SBI branch office and immediately informed the branch manager and fire brigade. Firefighters quickly responded, battling the blaze. Heavy smoke made their task more difficult, causing delays in extinguishing the fire.
