Khonsa, March 27:
A devastating fire, reportedly caused by an electrical short circuit, gutted two dwelling houses in Laho Village under Dadam on the night of March 26, leaving families homeless and destroying valuable belongings.
According to reports, the fire broke out at the residence of Tanwang Hakhun and quickly spread to a nearby PMAY-funded house belonging to Wanghat Kamhua. Both MIB-type structures were completely reduced to ashes before the blaze could be brought under control.
Important documents, household items, and traditional valuables were lost in the incident. To prevent the fire from spreading further, a third house in the vicinity was dismantled as a precautionary measure.
Following the incident, Khonsa West MLA Chakat Aboh responded swiftly by dispatching a relief team led by Pentom Kamhua. Immediate assistance in the form of essential commodities was provided to the affected families.
The MLA has also assured additional support, including the provision of CGI sheets to aid in the rehabilitation and reconstruction of the damaged homes.
