A massive fire broke out at the Kingdom of Dreams cultural centre in Gurugram on Thursday afternoon. At least 10 fire tenders were sent to douse the blaze. Images from the spot showed thick black smoke emanating from the premises.
The popular entertainment and cultural venue, known for showcasing India's art, heritage, and cuisine, has been shut since July 2022 after being sealed by the HSVP over unpaid dues of nearly ₹100 crore, reported news agency ANI.
Due to the fire, a large part of the cultural centre was burnt to ashes. The furniture and other dry and flammable items inside spread the fire faster. The cause of the fire is not known yet but a short-circuit is suspected.
