According to a fire-fighter, the fire was caused by short circuit in the concrete mix grinder at the construction site.

The sparks fell on the wooden planks placed at the construction site causing the fire to spread to the building under construction. No one was reported injured in the fire that erupted around 3.00pm and was put out in about 20 minutes.
