The Ministry of Interior has announced that a fire in the Zardad Market located in Kabul’s Mandawi area caused approximately 8 million afghani in financial damage. The incident occurred last evening and was reportedly caused by an electrical short circuit.<\/p>\n
According to the ministry’s statement, the fire started in one section of the market and spread to several shops and warehouses. However, fire-fighting teams were immediately dispatched to the scene and began extinguishing the fire.<\/p>\n
The Ministry of Interior added that timely efforts by firefighters saved assets valued at nearly 480 million afghani from being destroyed, indicating that the potential extent of the damage could have been far greater.<\/p>\n
Kabul’s Mandawi area is one of the capital’s major commercial centers, with many residents and traders frequenting it daily. Fires in such areas can have widespread economic consequences for business owners.<\/p>\n
The Ministry has urged citizens to observe safety principles and precautionary measures in their homes, shops, warehouses, and markets, and to cooperate with authorities to prevent such incidents. The ministry emphasized that adhering to safety standards can play an effective role in reducing risks and ensuring public security.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
