Eyewitnesses described the harrowing scene as fire crews battled tirelessly to bring the blaze under control. Within moments of the alarm being raised, at least 13 fire engines had descended upon the site, deploying water cannons and other firefighting equipment to douse the flames.
The Carnival Banquet Hall, a popular venue for various functions and events, stood adjacent to Narela Road, a major thoroughfare in the Alipur locality. The enclosed space, usually bustling with activity, now lay engulfed in chaos and destruction.
Amidst the chaos, traffic on Narela Road remained unaffected, allowing vehicles to pass through relatively unhindered despite the raging inferno nearby.
As the fire subsided, the extent of the damage became apparent. Steel and iron beams supporting the structure had been charred, and the roof of the banquet hall bore the scars of the intense blaze, serving as a stark reminder of the ferocity of the fire.
The Alipur area, known for its concentration of banquet halls catering to various events and gatherings, was once again thrust into the spotlight due to the unfortunate incident. Authorities are now conducting investigations to ascertain the cause of the fire, while residents and business owners in the vicinity remain on edge, hoping for a swift recovery from the devastation wrought by the flames.
