TURA: Several shops located at Chandmary tri-junction of Tura town sustained major damage in a fire that broke out at around 12:30 am on Thursday morning. West Garo Hills Deputy Commissioner, Ram Singh said that a short circuit in one of the shops caused the fire which spread to other shops nearby. “A total of four shops mostly selling groceries were damaged and suffered losses however, several shops including a tea stall, located on the opposite side from where the fire broke out were spared by the fire,” the DC said. Although the fire took place at a late hour, fire trucks were quick to respond and were soon able to put out the fire. However, shop items and goods could not be saved and affected owners suffered heavy losses. Meanwhile, Deputy Commissioner Ram Singh informed that he was yet to get the report of the assessment but would soon have it. |
