The troops distributed rice, milk, dal, sugar and tea to the affected villagers.

No Government official even cared to visit the village the whole day, the release added.
The release said that a resident noticed the fire in one of the houses and immediately raised an alarm.
In no time the fire spread to the adjoining houses as the houses were made of dry bamboo, the release added.
It further said that people however had enough time to save themselves and their children before the fire devoured their homes.
The raging inferno reduced nine houses into ashes.
