The fire was extinguished after 1.5-hour efforts, the fire service official said.
According to Mahafuz, the fire originated from a sound system shop and soon spread to nearby shops and storehouses containing wood, furniture and fruits.
The furniture shops would not have been saved unless the fire was controlled. The primary reason for the fire is thought to be an electrical short circuit, the fire service official added.
The exact amount of losses will be known after an investigation, the fire service official further said.
