The fire, which began around 8 pm in the first floor of Sri Krishna Trading Centre located on MG road, spread all over the three-story building within a couple of hours destroying everything.
However, no casualties have been reported in the mishap.
The fire extinguishers, who rushed to the spot from Kasargod and nearbly Uppala and Kanhangad, brought the situation under control after three-hour long struggle.
