Field at Mapusa goes up in flames
Updated: 2019–06–01
SALIGAO: A large tract of field opposite Bodgeshwar temple at Mapusa was gutted in a major fire that broke out on Friday afternoon. Timely intervention by the town’s fire station helped prevent the blaze from spreading towards a residential-cum-commercial complex in the vicinity.
The exact cause of the fire and estimated losses are yet to be ascertained.
Sources at the fire and emergency services, Mapusa, told TOI that they were informed of the incident at around 1.30pm. Three fire tenders were rushed to the site to douse the flames.
Thick smoke billowing from the field inconvenienced several commuters travelling to and from Mapusa, especially two-wheeler riders.
