Puttur: A short circuit caused by a lightning strike resulted in a devastating fire at the Adlab Photo Studio located in the central GL Complex of Puttur.
The studio, under the ownership of Ponnappa, incurred an estimated loss of approximately Rs 6 lakhs. The fire consumed various items including a computer system, photography equipment, pans, photo albums, and more. Fortunately, the studio’s staff members are safe.
Tragically, several wedding albums, intended for customers, were reduced to ashes due to the lightning-induced blaze. Ganesh Prasad Hotel staff and fire brigade personnel managed to douse the fire.
