In the midst of all the Diwali festivities, a devastating fire broke out in Guwahati’s Kahilipara area on Tuesday night.
About 11 houses were gutted in the area’s Sweeper Colony in the blazing inferno. Several two wheeler and four wheeler vehicles were also gutted in the fire.
It is initially being suspected that the fire broke out from a fire cracker but then suspicion fell on the bursting of a gas cylinder.
