The fire at Riyadh’s Batha Market was reported around 6:30pm, said Hasan Talukdar, a Bangladeshi salesman from the mall. “I went there as soon as I heard about the fire. But the fire service is not letting anyone go near the mall,” he said. He said he lived in a building 100 metres away from the mall. Fire-fighters are assuming electric fault started the fire, he said.
