A fire accident near the venue of Aero India show in Bengaluru on Saturday has gutted over 300 cars in the parking area.

Over 12 fire engines were pressed into service to douse the fire.

There was no loss of life or injury. A court of inquiry has been ordered to investigate the cause of the fire.

The Department of Financial Services has been requested to open a special insurance claim cell for the owners of the cars affected by the fire mishap.

The transport department has opened a counter at the nearby RTO office to seek applications from them for necessary documentation.

The air show was temporarily suspended and planes took off only after the fire was completely doused.

The five-day air show started on Wednesday and will conclude tomorrow.
