Massive Fire continuous after 36 hours at Shiv Shakti Textile Market in Surat

A Massive Fire continuous even after 36 hours at the Shiv Shakti Textile Market (SSTM) on Ring Road, engulfing over 800 shops, with nearly 450 shops completely reduced to ashes. The fire, which initially broke out on Tuesday and reignited on Wednesday morning, has left the bustling market district in ruins.

Efforts to contain the blaze, fueled by polyester sarees and other textile items stored in the market’s 834 shops across five floors. Fortunately, no casualties have been reported as authorities and fire brigades from five departments continue their relentless battle against the flames.

Anupam Singh Gehlot, Surat Police Commissioner, emphasized the challenges posed by the market’s structure and its proximity to other textile markets. “Our priority is to prevent the fire from spreading further,” Commissioner Gehlot stated, highlighting the closure of nearby markets and evacuation efforts to safeguard lives and property.

The scene was heart-wrenching as traders, witnessing their livelihoods consumed by fire, were seen in tears amid the billowing smoke that engulfed the city skyline. Deputy Commissioner of Police Bhagirath Gadhavi confirmed the sealing off of the area, evacuation of residents, and closure of surrounding businesses to facilitate firefighting operations.
