Goods worth lakhs were burnt to ashes in a fire at Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) center Ramsevakpuram on Thursday. The fire brigade vehicle arrived an hour after the information. VHP has expressed displeasure regarding this. It seems that the fire may have occurred due to short circuit.
VHP spokesperson Sharad Sharma said that the incident took place at 2 pm. VHP is constructing Dharamshala in Ramsevakpuram, in which more than 75 laborers are working. A temporary building (PVC block) was built for these laborers in Ramsevakapuram, which caught fire. The workers’ clothes, utensils, grains etc. were burnt to ashes. There has been a loss worth lakhs.
First a small fire brigade vehicle was sent which was proving inadequate in extinguishing the fire. Seeing this, VHP workers took charge. The fire could be controlled after about an hour of hard work. When the fire was extinguished, two big vehicles of the fire brigade arrived. The functioning of the fire department in the highly sensitive Ayodhya city is not proper.
He told that two other idols of Ramlala were also kept at a short distance from the place of fire, there was no damage to them.
