The fire broke out in a toliet and spread to the entire gym. Five fire safety vehicles were pressed into service from different stations. A fireman said it took around two hours to control the blaze.

Firemen had a tough time to control the blaze due to smoke billowing out from the gym. Fire station officer Lal Bahadur Gautam said the reason of fire was not known yet. “We are talking to the owners to assess the total loss,” he said.
