Assam: Devastating Fire In Chirang Destroys Homes, Leaves Livestock Dead

CHIRANG: In a devastating incident, a late-night fire engulfed South Makra No. 4, located within the Bijni subdivision of Assam’s Chirang district, on Monday, March 25th, causing extensive damage and substantial losses for local residents. The rapid spread of the inferno destroyed two residential properties and also caused the tragic death of livestock.

The fire’s origin has been traced to the home of Sarabat Ali, a resident of the area. The blaze quickly escalated, engulfing nearby residences at a startling rate. Amidst the chaos, one cow lost its life, while another sustained serious injuries and is currently in critical condition.

According to preliminary investigations, the devastating fire is suspected to have been caused by a short circuit. With the help of quick response of the local population, Bijni Fire Department emergency personnel were able to contain the fire and prevent what might have been a far more serious disaster.

To determine the exact cause of the fire and to assess the entire extent of the damage caused, local authorities have launched a comprehensive investigation. As the investigation continues, further details are expected.

Meanwhile, a massive fire erupted in Habidangra village, located in Baghbar in Assam's Barpeta district, last month in February, resulting in the destruction of a house owned by Javed Ali. Fortunately, there were no reported human casualties; however, the blaze claimed the lives of at least five livestock.
