A fire destroyed nine houses belonging to four families in Tarangapur Part-I village under Dhirerchar in the Chapar area of Assam’s Dhubri district on Tuesday night, with preliminary property losses estimated at more than Rs 20 lakh.
The blaze spread rapidly, leaving the affected families with little time to remove household possessions from their homes. Several household items and other belongings were destroyed, according to a report by the Times of India.
The four families are headed by Juran Ali, Habes Ali, Imran Hussain and Surut Zaman. The report did not specify the cause of the fire or provide details of any injuries.
Juran Ali told the Times of India that the fire had destroyed everything the families had built over the years. “We have lost our homes and all our valuable belongings. Our families are now left with nothing and are facing an extremely difficult situation,” he said.
The incident has left the four families without their homes and with substantial losses to their personal possessions. The estimated damage covers property destroyed in the fire, while the report did not provide a separate assessment of the value of household goods or the cost of rebuilding the houses.
The families have appealed to the government, the Dhubri district administration and members of the public for financial assistance. Their request is aimed at helping them rebuild their homes and manage the immediate consequences of the loss.
The report did not state whether the district administration had announced relief, temporary shelter or a formal damage-assessment process. Any government assistance or administrative action would determine the next stage of support for the affected families.
