Fire breaks out at auto repair shop in Ludhiana: Explosion caused by short circuit, Activa motorcycle reduced to ashes

A fire broke out suddenly late in the evening at Verma Auto Repair shop located on Tibba Road in Ludhiana. The fire engulfed an Activa and a motorcycle parked inside the shop for repair work. The fire was controlled with the help of nearby shopkeepers' quick thinking and timely efforts, preventing it from spreading further. Although there was an electric transformer just two yards away from the shop, the fire did not reach there.
