A dyeing unit was gutted in a fire in the powerloom town of Bhiwandi here in Maharashtra Monday early morning, an official said.
No casualty was reported in the mishap, fire officer Datta Salvi said.
The blaze erupted in the Ujagar dyeing unit's three- storey building around 5 am, he said.
Nearly half-a-dozen fire tenders from Bhiwandi, Kalyan town and Thane city were rushed to the spot and they took about seven hours to douse the flames, he said.
Cooling operations were underway, Salvi said, adding that the cause of the fire was yet be ascertained.
