BICHOLIM
A general stores shop owned by Devyani Gholkar was gutted in a fire at Borde-Bicholim in the morning.
The fire was reportedly caused by a short circuit. Groceries, vegetables, pulses, four refrigerators and other electrical appliances were destroyed in the fire. A fire tender from the Bicholim fire station extinguished the fire after a two-hour operation.
Bicholim MLA Dr Chandrakant Shetye, Bicholim Municipal Council Chairperson Kundan Phalari and councillors visited the site and took stock of the damages.
