Huge fire sweeps through Ramdev's natural health complex in Haridwar

Eyewitnesses said that the fire could be linked to the jungle fire as there is not much distance between the forested area and Yog Gram

A huge fire swept through yoga guru Baba Ramdev's natural health centre on Sunday afternoon, reducing it to ashes. A stray spark from an ongoing jungle fire is believed to have led to the blaze in the modern and state-of-the-art centre, built in 2009 at the cost of Rs 70 crore, in the Yog Gram Ashram.

Speaking to IANS over phone, Ramdev's spokesman S Tijarawala confirmed the huge damage. Ramdev's associate, Acharya Balkrishna also took to Twitter to speak about the blaze, and also shared a video of the leaping flames.
