A House located at Upper Echcey Mandal Gaon  was gutted in a fire in the last evening around about 5.30 pm .The house belonged to Karna bahadur ghatani who claimed that property was totally destroyed in the
inferno. He said that the fire rose from the regulator of the gas after the housewife of the home went to the kitchen to cook food but as soon as she lit the gas she saw fire coming out from regulator and soon left the area. Just within a span the fire caught hold of all the room and later the cylinder blast got hold of whole of house in
minutes and did not have a chance to take out anything said Ghatani. The local threw mud and water to control the fire but to no use. Tarpolin was today distributed to affected family by the Panchayat authority.
