Luckily, no casualties have been reported in the incident.

According to Fire Department officials, the fire originated in a temporary bar and dining structures on the terrace of the OTB restaurant which spread to the SLY Grainy’s building and was confined primarily to the rooftop.

The exact cause of the fire is yet to be unearthed.
