KOZHIKODE: A building consisting of a supermarket was gutted in a massive fire in Perambra. A fire broke out in a building near the traffic police station around 11 pm on Tuesday. The preliminary assumption is that the fire spread to the building from the plastic waste piled nearby.

The fire spread to the building containing Badusha Super Market. The fact that there were no people inside the building averted a major disaster. More fire force units have reached Perambra from different parts of Kozhikode district. The cause of the fire is unclear.
