Four houses destroyed in Bhaderwah fire
A big fire happened in a village called Puneja in Bhaderwah town, Jammu and Kashmir.
Four houses were completely destroyed, but no one was hurt.
The fire started in one house and spread to others because of strong winds.
Firefighters had a hard time getting to the village because it's up a hill and far from the nearest road.
People in the village said that if there was a better road, the damage might not have been so bad.
The fire was finally put out by locals, police, and firefighters working together.
No one knows what caused the fire yet.
A fire destroyed four houses in Puneja village, Bhaderwah town, Doda district, Jammu and Kashmir.
No casualties were reported in the incident.
The fire spread rapidly due to strong winds, affecting houses belonging to Raj Mohammad, Abdul Shakoor, Abdul Qayoom, and Jaan Mohammad.
Fire tenders struggled to reach the village due to its uphill location about 1 kilometre from the nearest motorable road.
Locals, police, and fire service teams managed to control the blaze, but the cause of the fire remains unknown.
