Locals informed the police, who arrived on the spot at about 12:30 pm.

A total of 11 fire tenders arrived on the spot and firemen had to struggle to finally douse the raging fire.

“The houses were located very close to each other, which helped the fire to spread fast. Luckily no one has been injured,” said Amit Deb, a local resident.
