Fancy house gutted
A fancy house at Power House Road in Jaffna caught fire and fancy
goods valued at Rs. 500,000 were reduced to ash. This happened on Thai
Pongal day morning. The cause of the fire has not been ascertained.
It is suspected that the fire could have spread from an oil lamp
placed before pictures of Hindu deities in the shop.
The fire was extinguished by the Municipal Fire Brigade.
