Malkangiri, Jan 27: A heartbreaking and massive fire incident occurred today in MV-9 village under Gaudaguda Gram Panchayat of Malkangiri block headquarters.
According to reports, a fire allegedly set by an unidentified miscreant in the farmland spread rapidly after coming into contact with dry leaves and strong winds, taking a fierce and destructive form. The blaze became so intense that it crossed the boundaries of the agricultural fields and advanced directly toward the villagers’ houses, creating panic across the area.
Most notably, even before the fire brigade arrived, several village youths bravely stepped forward to fight the flames, risking their own lives. Their extraordinary courage made it seem as though they had put their lives on the line. While some youths and women poured water using buckets, others tried desperately to keep the fire away from homes by beating the flames with tree branches.
The courageous efforts of the youths to protect people’s homes and belongings have now become a topic of discussion throughout the region. Upon receiving information, the fire brigade promptly reached the spot and managed to avert a major disaster. Their swift action brought great relief to the villagers and saved many houses from being destroyed.
Thanks to the patience of the villagers and the quick response of the administration, a major tragedy was successfully prevented.
