A
fire that broke out at Malla Mattress and Quilt Manufacturing Industry
owned by Iswor Malla has gutted the physical property of around Rs 1.6
million last night. The mattress and quilt stored in two rooms of
the industry based in Galchhina of Shuklagandaki municipality-5 were
completely destroyed by fire, said Sub Inspector at Belchautara Area
Police Office Kashiram Chaudhary. Four fire engines from Itahari, Dharan and Inaruwa as well as police personnel and locals have been making effort to douse the fire involving an area with dense settlement of Muslim community. Similarly, a fire at Ghuski-4 is still out of control, said police.
Police personnel and locals have been making efforts to douse the fire but in vain due to strong winds blowing fire waves. Likewise, two houses were destroyed by fire at Narsink VDC-4. The locals, however, brought the fire under control, said police. RSS
