Fire victim Maya Dahal with her child, Friday, 02 Mar 2012. (Courtesy: BNS) At least 85 huts were destroyed when fire raged through Beldangi-II Bhutanese Refugee Camp of Jhapa early Friday morning.

The fire started from a hut owned by Ram Chandra Bastola at 1:10 a.m. Friday and it took almost an hour for camp-based Armed Police Force (APF), camp residents and fire fighters to bring the mishap under control, refugee journalists-run Bhutan News Service said quoting camp secretary Dhan Bir Subba as saying.

Some 250 individuals have been displaced by the fire breakout. The displaced refugees are taking shelter at the English Language School run by Caritas Nepal, according to secretary Subba.

There was no human casualty in the incident. nepalnews.com
