A major fire in Bahraich’s Bakshipura New Basti, reportedly caused by a short circuit, destroyed a house and automobile parts stored inside, leading to losses worth several lakhs. Local residents and fire brigade teams struggled for hours to control the blaze, leaving the neighbourhood shaken.

A devastating fire tore through a residence in Bakshipura’s New Basti area under Bahraich Kotwali Dehat on Tuesday, after an alleged electrical short circuit triggered rapidly spreading flames. The blaze engulfed the entire house within minutes, destroying household belongings along with a stock of automobile parts stored on the premises.

According to local residents, thick smoke and rising flames prompted immediate panic in the neighbourhood as people rushed to alert authorities and assist the affected family.
