Bengaluru: Hours after a massive blaze gutted about 300 cars at the AeorIndia show, Karnataka chief secretary TM Vijay Bhaskar termed the incident unfortunate and said that the state government along with the Central government will take steps to ascertain the cause of the fire and will expedite the insurance claims. The blaze started around 12:00 pm in the parking lot (P4) near Gate 5 and quickly engulfed the surrounding area.
"The blaze is likely to have been caused due to dry grass catching fire aided by high-velocity winds," Director General of Police for Fire and Emergency Services MN Reddi told IANS.
In a statement released by the Karnataka government, the chief secretary said the fire department is investigating the cause of the incident and thanked the fire tenders and firemen who battled for two hours to get the fire under control.
Around 25 fire tenders and 150 firemen were present at the spot to tackle the fire.
“Fortunately there was no human casualty. Additional BMTC buses were deployed to ferry those persons whose cars were burnt and were stranded at the venue,” the statement read.
The state government will deploy a special team of surveyors to assess the damage and to process the insurance claims expeditiously. Apart from this, the state transport department through its offices will facilitate the issue of duplicate RCs and DLs to those who have lost them in the fire.
