Morbi: A fire broke out at the historic New Palace in Morbi, causing extensive damage to the royal family’s ancestral property and destroying priceless heritage items.

The blaze, which erupted within the palace grounds, quickly spread, reducing several historical artifacts and legacies preserved by the royal family to ashes. While the exact cause of the fire has not yet been determined, the intensity of the flames, as seen in the footage, suggests that the scale of the loss is significant.

During the emergency, a woman who was working inside the palace became trapped amidst the smoke and flames. She was successfully rescued by the Morbi Fire Department team, who managed to bring her out unharmed before focusing their full efforts on containing the inferno.

Kuldipsinh Vala, the Deputy Commissioner of the Municipal Corporation, arrived at the scene to monitor the firefighting operations and oversee the response. Official statements regarding the cause of the incident and a formal assessment of the destroyed property are expected to be released once the fire is fully extinguished and the site is secured.
