Newskarnataka-Bantwal
Bantwal:An accidental fire partially gutted an egg shop located on Raja Road at BC Road on October 3, Thursday night. The fire was noticed in the shop after its owner Ravindra Shenoy had closed the shop and left home.
Locals who saw smoke emitting from the area immediately alerted the fire service personnel who rushed to the spot and doused the fire. It is suspected that the lamp lit by Shenoy in front of the God’s portrait fell on to the hay that was placed over the eggs. Luckily, the fire did not spread to neighbouring shops.
The extent of loss is yet to be ascertained. Bantwal police have registered a case.
