Arunachal Pradesh : A devastating fire broke out in Parsi Parlo town of Arunachal Pradesh’s Kurung Kumey district early Thursday, claiming four lives, including three children and a woman, and destroying at least 25 houses.
The fire reportedly erupted around 2 AM and quickly engulfed the residential area, leaving several families homeless. Although the exact cause is yet to be established, police suspect that the blaze may have originated in a kitchen.
The incident has raised serious concerns over the lack of emergency services in the remote region. Parsi Parlo does not have its own fire station, while a fire tender reportedly dispatched from Koloriang could not reach the spot in time due to its poor condition.
Chief Minister Pema Khandu expressed deep sorrow over the tragic loss of lives and directed authorities to extend immediate assistance to the affected families.
Meanwhile, All Nyishi Youth Association (ANYA) president Jamru Ruja announced that the organisation would launch a donation drive to support families who lost their homes and belongings in the devastating fire.
