Updated: 2013-04-25-18:59
DHADING: Two houses have been reduced to ashes when a fire broke out near a sugar mill in Tharke VDC, a hamlet in Dhading district on Thursday.
The fire that had started from the shop of Hari Bansa Adhikari due to short circuit at around 5 am today razed the house of Mukti Nath Adhikari and a store as well.
The victims informed that property worth around Rs.70 lakhs was gutted in the fire.
Though locals along with a team from Area Police Office Khani Khola tried to put out the fire immediately after it broke out, it was doused only after three hours of long battle.
The incidents of fire have become perennial problems for Nepal especially during the pre monsoon season.
Even a lit cigarette butt is enough to ignite a fire during this season.
