A video shared by news agency ANI showed fire department officers on-site using fire extinguishers and other safety equipment to control the blaze, while charred tents were visible in the footage.

According to news agency PTI, chief fire officer (Kumbh) Pramod Sharma said the fire was reported in the afternoon, and it was quickly put out. He mentioned that the lack of proper roads made it difficult for fire engines to reach the location, but the fire was eventually fully extinguished with no loss of life or injuries.
