Local authorities of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) have launched a probe to find out the reason behind the fire that engulfed considerable portion of the famous Devgiri fort in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district of Maharashtra, an official said on Wednesday.

According to news agency PTI, the Devgiri fort, also known as Daulatabad fort, sees a high tourist footfall. Located around 16 km from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar city in Maharashtra, it was once the capital for the Yadava Dynasty in the ninth to 14th century.
