Bhadrak, Feb 13: Properties worth lakhs of rupees were destroyed as a major fire engulfed as many as eight houses at Bishol Sasan village of Tesinga gram panchayat under Bhandaripokhari Tehsil limits in Bhadrak district on the wee hours of Monday.

The houses belonged to six families. Except dresses they had worn, nothing could be brought to outside as the fire spread in night hours.

“We could not bring out paddy, rice, household articles, furniture and hard cash as we knew about the fire at the last moment and, thus, preferred to save our life first,” said Kartika Das.

Fire spread at 3 am and the reason behind the incident is yet to be known.
