Fire broke out two days ago too
Let us tell you that two days ago on February 13, a fire broke out at two different places in the fair area. Firefighters somehow controlled the fire, but by then four tents had burnt down. The fire did not cause much damage.

It was told that there is a police camp on Bindu Madhav Marg near Nagavasuki in Sector 6 of the Mahakumbh fair area, where separate tents were made for the stay of security personnel. On Thursday afternoon, a tent caught fire due to a sudden short circuit, due to which chaos was created there.
