    80 huts gutted in a fire

    Puducherry (PTI): Eighty huts have been gutted in a fire at Solai Nagar, a coastal hamlet in Muthialpet block near here, police said.

    A spark of fire from inside a hut in the area allegedly spread the blaze on Tuesday, they said.

    Fire fighting units put in strenuous efforts to bring the blaze under control.

    This was the second fire incident in the locality, as there was a fire accident a few days ago in which 100 huts were reduced to ashes.

    The government was already preoccupied with the distribution of relief materials to the families rendered homeless in the earlier fire accident and now such measures were being made to mitigate the sufferings of the residents, official sources said.
