On the evening of 25 May, a fire started in the ground floor of the two story building. The fire was reportedly caused when some welding work was being carried out and quickly spread into surrounding areas due to the already high temperature in the areas. Furthermore, there was only one exit in the first floor. Nearly 2,000 litres of diesel was stored at the TRP Game Zone for generators, while 1,000 to 1,500 litres of petrol was stored for go-kart racing, which made the fire almost uncontrollable. There were around 70 to 80 people at the time of fire.[5]
