According to Prakash, the fire was caused due to short circuit and other potential causes of the fire are yet to be ascertained.
Earlier in the day, the fire that was declared to fall under the "medium category" did not douse off completely as the water could not reach "small pockets" of the factory and it caught the fire again.
The officials had also reported that the problems in the operation arose due to the "small pockets" and high depth of the building.
Notably, 22 fire tenders rushed to the spot initially at night after the fire broke out and the officials found that no person was trapped inside the factory. (ANI)
