He noted that the latest fire occurred less than two weeks after a similar incident destroyed many shops in the same market.

The President directed relevant authorities to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the repeated fire outbreaks at Singer Market.

He said frequent market fires leave traders in distress and cause heavy losses to families and businesses.
