A fire broke out at a State Bank of India ATM kiosk, located at Narasimha Nagar in Visakhapatnam. Reportedly, the District Fire Department was informed about the fire around 4 pm on Thursday. The reason behind the fire break isn’t known yet for sure. Also, the amount of cash torched in the accident is yet to be estimated.
