Sambalpur: A coal tar pitch factory in the city was razed with properties worth lakhs of rupees destroyed late on Thursday night.

Four teams of Fire personnel were engaged to douse the flame. But the fire was so intense that it was brought under control after four hours of sustained efforts by the personnel.
No casualty was reported in the incident till the report was filed.
