A mid-day fire in a private garage at Zoumunnuam village Churachandpur district today raged properties worth about Rs 12 lakh as an Eeco Van, a diesel auto and a sugarcane juicer among others were charred beyond restoration.
The garage owner T Kamzadou said he was taking a nap inside their house when he was alerted by his wife about the fire in their garage around noon today.
The fire which is believed to have originated from the Eeco Van spread across the bamboo walls and scorched all items kept inside and several domesticated birds, including ducks, chickens and doves.
Two bicycles, several school text books kept at an adjoining earthen wall house was also destroyed in the fire.
The timely intervention of the fire brigade that rushed to the spot along with the help of the villagers managed to prevent the fire from spreading to other structures.
