On Thursday night, a massive fire broke out at the Reliance Mall located in Moti Khavdi within the Jamnagar Refinery Township in Gujarat’s Jamnagar district.

Traffic Disruption and Control Measures:

The incident caused a traffic jam on Jamnagar Highway in Jamkhambhaliya, extending for 1-2 km due to the mall’s proximity to the highway. However, authorities managed to control the situation by 1 am, with the cooling and ventilation process continuing until 4 am.

Reliance Industries’ Response:

A spokesperson from Reliance Industries confirmed the fire, stating that an investigation into its cause would be conducted. They reassured me that no loss of life or injuries had been reported. 

The district authorities, the fire department, and Reliance Industries’ fire tenders collaborated to bring the fire under control.

The Reliance Mall, situated at the township entrance, is the area’s sole shopping complex. It features a two-story structure with amenities such as a movie theatre, game zone, cafes, and various retail outlets, according to police sources.
