A residential house was completely gutted in a fire mishap in Rajbhat locality of Sunbrari in south Kashmir’s Anantnag district during the intervening night of Sunday and Monday.
A local told The Kashmiriyat that fire broke out in the residential house of Farooq Ahmad Bhat and Bilal Ahmad Bhat, living in a joint house. The late night fire turned the belongings of the family into ashes.
There are 13 family members who lived under the same roof.
Locals said that they approached the fire tenders but due to the short breadth of road, the fire tenders could not reach on the spot. The locals, however, doused the flames and controlled fire from causing more damage.
They said that the cause of fire was being ascertained.
The local residents appealed to the Lieutenant Governor as well as the district administration to provide compensation to the family.
