PONDA
A couple were injured after a fire broke out in their house at Pratapnagar-Dharbandora following a leakage of a domestic gas cylinder.
While Rosario Dias (65) and his wife Milagres (55) sustained injuries in the incident, household goods worth Rs 50,000 were destroyed in the fire.
When locals noticed smoke from the house, they rushed to the spot and tried to extinguish the fire. When they realised that the flames had intensified, they notified the Ponda fire station.
A Ponda fire brigade team went to the site and extinguished the fire, while also removing the gas cylinder from the house. The injured couple were admitted to the Piliem Primary Health Centre for treatment.
