Though the blaze also caused cylinder blasts, no human casualty was, however, reported in the incident.

Lumla sub-divisional medical officer Nima Tashi said the cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained.

“Thankfully there were no casualties as all the houses were unoccupied when the incident took place. The fire was contained due to the timely interference of the Sashastra Seema Bal personnel and villagers,” Tashi said.
