Moreh, August 03 2021:
A house and a warehouse of grocery items located in Moreh ward no 7 Heinou Makhong Leikai have been gutted in a fire that broke out around 12.30 am Tuesday.
Both the structures belonged to one Leishangth-em Sana Meitei of Heinou Makhong Leikai, who runs a grocery shop at Moreh ward no 9 along NH-102.As the space of the shop is limited, the grocery items were kept in the warehouse set up near the house of Sana.
The fire is believed to have been started from the warehouse due to short circuit.
The fire is estimated to have destroyed properties including cash, gold ornaments and other items worth around Rs 30 lakh.
Though fire station in Moreh was contacted a bit late, the fire service personnel managed to prevent the fire from spreading to adjoining houses.
Speaking in this regard, inspector S Sheileshkumar informed that Moreh Fire Service along with the help of Border Trade Chamber of Commerce, Moreh will put on display phone numbers of Manipur Fire Service and Moreh Fire Service at appropriate places in several localities of Moreh so as to prevent possible loss of properties in fire incidents in future.
