Massive Fire Razes 13 Houses in Maibang's Subhasnagar

 
Haflong February 3: A massive fire ripped through Subhasnagar under Maibang Police Station in Dima Hasao district this morning, gutting at least 13 dwelling houses and leaving families homeless.

The blaze erupted early Tuesday in the densely packed residential area and spread rapidly. Local reports confirm no casualties, though the cause is under investigation. Firefighting teams from Maibang station responded swiftly per district protocols, battling the flames for two hours before bringing it under control.

This incident underscores ongoing fire vulnerabilities in Maibang's rural housing, where limited safety infrastructure has led to prior outbreaks. Affected residents are calling for better preparedness, including more fire extinguishers and awareness campaigns in the hill district.
