Though the cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained, fire officials said that it could be because of short circuit.

“There is a huge stock of inflammable materials inside the mill. Since it is a congested area, we do not want to take any chance and the fire is at the moment under control,” a senior officer of the Fire Department said.
