Properties worth several lakh have been reduced to ashes when Dhubri Bholanath College caught fire on Thursday. The incident took place at 1 in the afternoon at a room due to electric short circuit which later spread to the adjacent room.
It took three hours for three fire tenders to bring the situation under control. Many crucial documents and furniture were gutted in the fire. The real extent of damage is yet to be ascertained, said a teacher who arrived in the spot immediately after the college building caught fire.
