A major fire incident was reported from Motihari, Bihar, on the auspicious occasion of Dussehra. A motorcycle agency caught fire, leading to significant losses. The Bajrang motorcycle agency, located in Talimpur Ward-7, was consumed by a massive fire late at night. This unfortunate event not only caused extensive damage to the property but also cast a shadow of grief over the Vijaya Dashami celebrations for the employees and the owner of the agency.
