The cause is still unknown.Heartbroken victims were loud in tears, mourning over lost properties while fire personnel desperately attempted to put out the fire.Some of the victims were reported to be in shock, largely because the market had been locked with all traders driven out.They were unsure what must have triggered the outbreak.
This is the second fire to hit that market within the past few months.The fire personnel say they will investigate to ascertain the cause soon.
