Following the massive fire, which broke out at Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) office building, Deputy Fire Director Sameer Chowdhary on Thursday afternoon assured that the situation is under control.

He, however, added that the cause of the fire is yet to be determined.

"The fire is now under control completely, and there is no chance of it to increase. Nobody was injured in the incident. However, some office furniture and electronics were damaged. The reason of the fire will be determined only after the forensic team completes its probe," he told reporters here.

10 fire tenders were rushed to the LIC building Jawaharlal Nehru Road this morning, where a massive fire, that reportedly broke out on the 17th floor spread rapidly.
