    It is most unfortunate that a major fire broke out in a hardware shop in Manipal. Thank God there were no casualties but a big lass to the owner of this shop. I hope he had insurance or other means to cover for his loss.

    Generally commercial shops take fire insurance cover for stock value against such unforseen happenings...if the shop owner has credit facility from bank,it is mandatory to have fire surence policy for full stock value with bank clause.
