A major fire which broke out in the intervening night of October 21 and22 destroyed a house which belongs to Rengtoi Leivon Lamkaang in Charangching Khunkha Village (Khorpi), Chandel District.
The fire started when all the family members were in deep sleep and burnt their kitchen, garage, barn, bathroom and a car, reported social worker Daniel Leivon Lamkaang.
The front engine portion and other parts of the car were destroyed while kitchen items including Fridge, Dining Table, Chairs, Gas Stove with Exhaust Chimney Vantilator were burnt to ash, he added.
He continued that an estimated amount of about Rs 27 lakhs worths of domestic properties were destroyed by the fire.
