The first truck, owned by Gurpreet Singh, and a twelve-wheeler owned by Sugdev Singh, both suffered heavy losses. The estimated damages are around ₹11.50 lakh for the first vehicle and ₹17 lakh for the second.
Officials suspect the fire was caused by an electrical short circuit. Flammable cargo, including cloth materials, accelerated the spread of the flames, worsening the damage before fire crews could fully douse the blaze.
Kapil Nagar Police Station has registered the case, and further investigations are underway to determine if negligence played a role. Fortunately, no casualties were reported.
