A residential house was gutted in a fire incident on the intervening night of Sunday and Monday in the Achabal area of south Kashmir’s Anantnag district.
Reports said a fire broke out in a residential house belonging to one Shahnawaz Ahmad Shah, son of Mohammad Yousaf Shah at Akingam Achabal. Soon after fire tenders were rushed to the spot and the fire was contained, however, not before the blaze had razed most of the structure to ashes.
A police official told a local news agency, Global News Service (GNS), that cognizance has been taken into the incident.
