But according to the businessman the fire was not caused by electrical faults referencing to information received from fire fighters.

“This has nothing to do with electrical based on a few fire officers I spoke to. They checked the panel everything was in tack”.

On the other hand, Giftland Mall’s Owner Roy Beepat commended both the fire service and others who assisted in containing and putting out the blaze.
