Agency (Ayodhya): A devastating fire erupted in Ram Sevak Puram, Ayodhya, on Thursday, resulting in significant property damage. Reports indicate that goods worth several lakhs were reduced to ashes as the flames consumed more than six cottages in the area.
Panic spread rapidly among the locals, who quickly mobilized to extinguish the fire. Despite their swift actions, it took over an hour for firefighters and volunteers to bring the blaze under control. The fire’s intensity posed a major challenge to the firefighting efforts, ultimately causing substantial damage to the affected properties.
Among the losses were two statues of Lord Ram, which held immense cultural and religious importance to the community. The destruction of these sacred statues has deeply saddened the locals, who revered them greatly. Fortunately, two other statues of Lord Ram at the site were spared from the flames and remain intact.
The Ayodhya Police and Fire Brigade worked diligently to control the fire within an hour. The Ayodhya Police announced on the micro-blogging site X, “The fire has been brought under control by the Ayodhya Police and Ayodhya Fire Service. Other necessary legal actions are being taken.”
Authorities are currently investigating the cause of the fire and assessing the full extent of the damage. Meanwhile, the community is rallying together to support those affected by this tragic incident.
