According to the official, nobody was injured in the blaze.

As per the official, due to the foam and other flammable material used in making furniture, the fire spread quickly.
"After reaching the spot, the fire brigade first evacuated more than 50 workers out of the building and then doused the fire with the help of eight fire tenders," Kher said.
The cause of the fire is being ascertained.
Further details awaited.
