Sri Muktsar Sahib, December 5
Half a dozen shanties of migrant laborers sitting in shanty huts behind Dana Mandi on Balamgarh Road in the city were burnt to ashes due to a fire. The fire broke out late in the evening. These slums belonged to migrant workers. These workers earn their living by working in the Dana Mandi adjacent to the slums. The huts were made of bamboo cloth and old flax. At the time when the fire broke out in the slums, the children of the laborers were also there, but the children were taken out as soon as the fire was detected, due to which no loss of life was saved. While due to the fire, the money and valuables of the workers in the slums were burnt to ashes.
