Bathinda, January 1

Goods worth lakhs were destroyed after a tent house was gutted in the Partap Nagar area here on Thursday.

Soon after the fire broke out, people in the neighbourhood tried to douse the flames but it rapidly spread through the premises.

Owner Sanjeev Kumar Sachdeva said fire tenders were called in but by the time they could douse the blaze, it had done a considerable damage to the property.

Sachdeva said: "We have suffered a loss of around Rs 70 lakh as items such as fans, mats, sofas, chairs, furniture and two small vehicles have been gutted." — TNS
