Raw material, products and machines worth lakhs of rupees were gutted in a fire that broke out in two footwear manufacturing units at the HSIIDC,
Sector 17, Bahadurgarh today. The reason behind the fire in both the units is yet to be ascertained.
“At 10.53 am, we got information about fire at two factories in the HSIIDC. Fire tenders rushed to the spot and tried to douse the flames.
