Neelum Valley: A massive fire broke out in Barian Seri Bazaar, raising concerns of significant damage. Fire brigade vehicles have been dispatched from Athmuqam towards Barian to control the blaze. The fire is believed to have started due to a short circuit.
Several shops have been completely destroyed, and the upper portion of a house belonging to a local resident, Shabbir, has also been burned. The local community is currently engaged in efforts to extinguish the fire on their own. Fortunately, no reports of casualties have surfaced so far.
Further updates will follow as the situation develops.
