A fire destroyed around 100 huts in Beldangi-I refugee camp Tuesday after the lunchtime. More than three dozens of huts were reported to have been dismantled while containing the fire.
Most of the huts gutted by fire are from Sector B-4, according to Beldangi camp management committee.
According to our correspondents, the victims have claimed that they first saw the inferno from a hut owned by Nar Bahadur Khapangi. Officials are yet to verify this fact.
The road connecting Beldangi-I with the adjacent camp became a cotton thread for flocks of refugees who were running to battle the fire.
The joint battle of three fire extinguishers, Armed Police Force and refugees took over an hour to bring the mishap under their control.
The displaced refugees, who number over 700, are taking shelter in camp based schools. The cause of the fire and damages caused were not known immediately.
