A major fire broke out at an apartment in a housing complex located on VIP road in Guwahati on Friday.

According to reports, the fire broke out on the sixth floor of Block-2 of Palacia Park Apartments in the six-mile area of the city.

Meanwhile, several fire tenders reached the spot and after much struggle, brought the fire under control.

The apartment in which the fire broke out belonged to Pradeep Borgohain. It has been gutted entirely with damages believed to be worth in lakhs.
