The grocery section at Narantuul market caught fire in August causing one death and damages to 441 rented areas. Last week the investigation into the origin and cause of the fire was completed and the cost of damages and the reason behind the fire were revealed.
The cause of the fire, as determined by the analysis, was an electrical fault.

It estimated that the damage caused by the fire cost 12 billion, 300 million MNT and that goods and properties worth five billion 430 million MNT were saved.

The question whether or not the owner of Narantuul market, Sh.Saikhansambuu, will repay for the damages is still open. Over 400 renters at Narantuul market are still hoping that their compensation will be covered.

The fire case has now been transferred to the prosecutor. When the Court rules on the final decision over the case the condition for compensation will be determined.

Renters evaluated their goods at higher than the market price, but related agencies estimated the market price to calculate the compensation.
