The fire continues to raze for more than three hours and the fire personnel are facing difficulty to douse the flames due to the huge amount of menthol oil stored at the warehouse, the officer said.
"There are hundreds of menthol oil drums inside the warehouse and they are exploding," Fire Officer Arun Kumar Singh told ANI. The fire was contained but will take more than three hours to fully douse it off, he said. Further details awaited.
