Huts of migrant workers gutted in Karimnagar

Around 18 huts of migrant workers were gutted in a major fire that broke out near Indiranagar vegetable market in Karimnagar town on Tuesday morning.

Two fire tenders were rushed to the spot, and the personnel of Telangana Disaster Response and Fire Services department put out the blaze in coordination with the local police. Three bikes, too, were gutted.

The Karimnagar Three Town police suspect short-circuit as the cause of the fire and have launched a probe.
