Fire in Jammu's Wholesale Market Ignites Political Row on Diwali

Politics has now started over the fire that broke out in Jammu's largest wholesale market on Diwali evening and the loss of crores of rupees due to that fire. While the PDP, including the National Conference, is demanding action on the fire department in Jammu, the BJP said that no concrete assurance has been given to all the fire affected businessmen so far. On the evening of Diwali, about eight shops in the warehouse market of Jammu's largest wholesale market were burnt down by the fire crackers and the goods worth crores of rupees were also burnt in these shops. Although the fire has cooled down now and the traders have started to remove the leftover goods from their trap shops, but the political coals are still beating on this fire. The story of Jammu and Kashmir's ruling National Conference, including the PDP, has raised many questions on the fire department of the state on the pretext of this day. This question is also because the nearest fire service station from where the fire broke out was only 10 minutes away. The traders are affected by the fire and the fire tenders were set on fire today.
