As many as 126 houses were reduced to ashes in fire incidents at two villages of Unnao district on Thursday.
In Badiyakheda village in Unnao, 46 houses caught fire by fireworks during a marriage in the village. In another incident, fire, which spread from the kitchen of a house, charred 80 houses in Chandanpur village. The fire spread rapidly as the houses had thatched roof and it took three hours to control the fire.
The villagers of Badiyakheda village alleged that the fire tenders reached two hours late. Meanwhile the villagers tried to douse flames with water buckets. The fire tenders had a tough time in dousing the flames due to wind blowing at a high speed. The police and district administration officials rushed to the spot.
