Ukhrul, January 14, 2011:
In yet another fire incident that occurred at Wino Bazaar in the heart of Ukhrul headquarters at around 11.30 am here today a computer centre was partially burnt.
The timely intervention of locals along with 17 Assam Rifles posted at Ukhrul prevented the fire from spreading towards other shops adjacent to the one where the fire started.
The incident reportedly occurred due to sudden explosion of a Mini Generator which was used in the computer shop.
It may be recalled that properties worth crores of rupees were reduced to cinders in an inferno that occurred on March 9, 2010 in the same area where the fire broke out today.
A doctor who does not want to be named said, "I informed the fire-brigade department on phone as soon as the fire started.
But to my surprise, I came to learn that the only fire-brigade available in the whole district got stuck on the way due to technical snag".
