Amritsar: A massive fire broke out on Tuesday in Amritsar's Khanna Paper Mill, one of the largest paper mills in the country.
Over 45 fire engines have been pressed into service to douse the flames at the mill, 15 km away from the International Rajasansi Airport near here.
Amritsar Deputy Commissioner Rajat Aggarwal said that the services of Army have also been requisitioned to control the blaze.
No causality has been reported in the fire so far.
The fire, according to reports, broke out at 1 pm in the afternoon today.
"All the labourers and staff members working in the Mill came out from the affected area as soon as they saw flames," the director of the mill, Suneet Kochar said.
The Deputy Commissioner said, "Our priority is to get control over the fire at the earliest possible, for this the State Government has also been informed, since the intensity of fire is becoming higher with the each passing moment."
The reason behind the fire is yet to be ascertained. The Mill is India's first exporter of news print to neighbouring Pakistan.
