Fire Strikes Children’s Gaming Zone in TRP Mall, Bopal

Located in the central court of Bopal’s TRP Mall, the Sky Trampoline gaming zone was a popular attraction for children. Unfortunately, it was the epicenter of the recent fire outbreak. The fire quickly engulfed the entire floor where the gaming zone was situated. 

Gradually, the flames spread to the fourth and then the third floor. Fortunately, the penthouses showroom managed to escape the blaze. Prompt action from nearby petrol pump personnel helped contain the fire before it could cause further damage.

Everyone Safely Evacuated
