Major fire breaks out at herbal park in Yamunanagar

Yamunanagar: A major fire broke out at a herbal park in Khizarabad village of Yamunanagar today resulting in a huge loss of property but no casualty was reported.

Electrical short circuit could be the reason behind the fire. The blaze was brought under control within a few hours, they said.
