KARSINGSA\/ZIRO, 23 Jan:<\/strong> Five houses were reduced to ashes in a fire accident that occurred at the piggery farm in Karsingsa in Papum Pare district at around 3 am on Monday, due to an electric short-circuit.<\/p>\n The houses belonged to Kipa Tafa, Hui Tabum, Jogen Borua, Bengia Yakup, and Tadar Tajuk, Ward 20 Corporator Arun Kipa Loram informed in a release.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, a fire accident which occurred in Hill Top Colony in Lower Subansiri HQ Ziro at around 7 pm on Sunday reduced a building to ashes and caused heavy loss to the house owner.<\/p>\n The flames engulfed the lone SPT building, located atop a hillock, within no time. Fortunately, the house was located in a secluded area, which prevented the inferno from spreading to other houses in the colony, which is home to nearly 200 households, besides the famed Gayatri temple.<\/p>\n The cause of the fire is suspected to be burning firewood in the local kitchen of the house.<\/p>\n Neighbours and many other people were unable to douse the fire due to the size of the flames and bursting of LPG cylinders.<\/p>\n However, a fire tender arrived at the scene on time and doused the fire.<\/p>\n The house owner informed that nothing could be salvaged from the ashes.<\/p>\n “I have lost properties worth 25 to 30 lakhs. All my traditional beads, ornaments, dresses and other personal and domestic belongings are completely burnt to ashes,” he lamented.<\/p>\n The district administration, through the DDMO has distributed essential relief materials, including blankets, rice, dal, oil, sugar, salt, and cooking utensils, to the affected family.
