Hundreds of employees of the Gafoor’s Houston Complex and associated businesses housed there face uncertainty after a massive fire destroyed several sections of the multi-billion dollar complex yesterday afternoon, leaving behind billions of dollars in damage.
When Stabroek News arrived at the Lot 1 & 2 Area “X” Houston complex around 4.30 pm, a large crowd comprising employees and curious bystanders had already converged. Other workers were seen working quickly to remove as gas cylinders from a section of the building before fire engulfed that area.
Up to press time last night, the origin of the fire which engulfed the A Gafoor and Sons Ltd flagship branch, had not been determined.
