The blaze reportedly broke out during the intervening night of Friday and Saturday in a private canteen within the cantonment premises, claiming the life of Rajesh Kumar, a civil contractor hailing from Haryana.

Preliminary investigations suggest that the fire was triggered by a short circuit.

However, authorities have launched an inquiry to determine the exact cause of the fire.
