A fire broke out near the 132-kV PSPCL substation on Batala Road on Wednesday, but was brought under control shortly afterwards, with rainfall also helping in dousing the flames.
The incident occurred in the evening hours and prompted a swift response, with the
Amritsar Municipal Corporation pressing fire
tenders into service to contain the blaze.
The PSPCL Chief Engineer (Border Range) said the fire originated in a nearby store and did not reach the power substation. He added that, according to initial reports, there was no major damage.
The fire mainly affected nearby bushes and wild growth, and was extinguished soon after the onset of rain.
