Fire in Arunachal Pradesh Kills Four, Destroys 24 Houses in Kurung Kumey
A fire in Arunachal Pradesh's Kurung Kumey district destroyed at least 24 houses early November 12, killing a woman and her three children, with the husband missing. The blaze began around 2:30 a.m. in Parsi-Parlo town and spread rapidly. Preliminary reports suggest a kitchen fire origin. The absence of a local fire station and delayed arrival of a fire tender from 38 km away hindered containment efforts. Officials continue rescue and relief operations, while Chief Minister Pema Khandu expressed condolences and urged assistance for affected families.
