The blaze was brought under control after 7 to 8 hours, he said.
A firefighter was injured during the operation and shifted to the hospital as his health deteriorated, the official said.
Local traders said the fire destroyed synthetic goods kept outside the shops on the sixth floor and soon spread to several establishments.
