9 Baje 9 Minute: Fire at Solapur airport under control

Prime Minister Modi had asked people to take up the task of lighting candles and diyas etc at 9 pm on Sunday for 9 minutes. But even as most complied with lit candles on their window sill, or diyas in their courtyards, some resorted in bursting crackers.

News about the fire was shared on Twitter by News18 Lokmat correspondent, Sagar Surawase.
