A fire due to a short circuit engulfed around 50 shops in the Banyan street of Tiruppur, the textile capital of South India.
The fire has been doused by early Saturday morning after many shops have been gutted leading to huge losses. However, there was no deaths or injuries in the fire as nearly all shops were shut down for the day.
Many international brands of repute are made at Tiruppur. The annual turnover of the Tiruppur textile industry is around Rs 50,000 crore.
