Srinagar: A government run school building was gutted completely in a fire mishap in Nowgam area of Handwara in frontier north Kashmir’s Kupwara district on Monday evening.
Reports reaching here stated that a fire broke out in a Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) in Inderdaji Nowgam and within no time the fire spread to the whole structure. Despite efforts by the locals, the school building could not be saved.
Incharge Fire Service Station at Qalamabad, Nazir Ahmad Tantray informed that they left for the site soon after receiving intimation about the fire breaking. “However, once we reached Nowgam, we were informed by the locals that the bridge was only meant for light motor vehicles (LMVs), because of which we could not proceed to the actual site. In the course of time, the school building received substantial damage”, he further said.
