Tengnoupal, March 08 2019:
A fire, which started from an unknown source, burned down a house at Lhunnajang village in Tengnoupal district today.
Owner of the house Mangsat Baite (28), s/o Paojatong Baite has claimed that properties worth Rs 20 lakh have been completely destroyed in the fire, reports our correspondent.
According to a source, the villagers found the house burning at around 11 am and reported the incident to Kakching fire station instantly.
All the members of the house were in the field when the fire started and were not aware of the incident at first, added the source.

Unfortunately, the house along with all the properties inside were burned to the ground as it was a wooden house.
Meanwhile, Kakching Fire station reached the spot and put out the fire and also prevented the fire from spreading to the neighbouring houses.
On the other hand, reading materials and books of a class X exam appearing student Tongminthang Haokip, who was renting a room at the house, have been completely destroyed as well.
Speaking to media persons, Molnoi Area Welfare Council (MAWC) Chairman Lhunmang Haokip lamented that some parts of the house could have been saved from complete destruction if a fire sub station was set up in the Pallel area.
Although Kakching fire station tried its best to put out the fire, he maintained that it was too late to save the house when the firemen arrived.
He appealed the authorities concerned to set up a fire sub station in Pallel area at the earliest.
