MUZAFFARABAD: At least 10 shops were gutted near Muzaffarabad on Monday. Officials suspect the fire broke out due to a short circuit in a Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) shop in Kohori, some 17 kilometers from Muzaffarabad in the early hours of Monday. Soon after the fire broke out, locals had rushed to the spot to control the blaze. By the time fire tenders from Muzaffarabad reached the spot and managed to extinguish the fire, the shops had been burnt to ashes.
