By  Firstdespatch Desk   Apr 28, 2023

Agartala, Apr 28 (FD) A village in Sabroom subdivision narrowly escaped disaster yesterday evening as a massive fire broke out, triggered by a series of lightning strikes. The flames, driven by strong and stormy winds, quickly engulfed a vast rubber garden spanning 9/10 hectares of land, reducing it to ashes.

Nearby residents of Shibaprasad colony were gripped with fear due to the presence of a gas godown within a hundred meters of the inferno.

However, thanks to the swift action of the BSF, TSR, and Fire Brigade Jawans, along with the assistance of local residents, the fire was brought under control in just three hours. The collective efforts ensured the safety of people's homes and properties. FD SB
