The fire led to 2 deaths, gutting of several houses
The monetary assistance comes in response to the massive fire that broke out in the Arunachal village back on March 18. Reportedly, two people had lost their lives with about 83 thatched houses getting reduced to ashes. The incident had taken place at around 12:45 pm and no fire tender was able to reach timely due to the remote location of the hamlet.
