Fire breaks out in old furniture shops in Warangal

Officials are not sure of the loss caused by the fire since the owners of the old furniture shops are being run unauthorized. An iron shop and a fertilizer shop were also gutted in the accident. Locals are demanding that the GWMC must see that such shops would not be set up in the middle of the residential area.
