Imphal, July 11 2023:
Four Government quarters of Langol Type-2, C Sector were gutted this afternoon.
People of the neighbourhood came to know about the fire at around 4.10 pm.
The neighbours heard sounds of some blasts.
When they went out to check the sounds, they saw the quarters burning.
The quarters which were gutted by fire were unoccupied since some time back.
Later, fire tenders of Manipur Fire Service and Manipur Police doused the fire at around 5.30 pm.
It is suspected that the fire originated from an electric short circuit.
The people of the neighbourhood said that electric wiring of Government quarters of Langol Tye-2 are in very bad shape as they have not been maintained properly since a long time back.
Earlier, 10 quarters were gutted by an inferno at the same place.
Saying that the accidental fire might have created wrong impressions on the public on account of the prevailing situation, they appealed to all the people not to spread rumours or false information.
They also appealed to the Government to repair the quarters at the earliest.
