The fire that started a little after 8 pm, Tuesday was taken in control after almost two hours. Fire brigades had faced difficulty controlling the fire as the alley leading to the house was very narrow.

Shree Shrestha   |76.204.102.xxx |2009-11-10 23:19:39 Let this be lesson to all Kathmandubasis who are building houses wherever they want. Think before planning to build a house. If someone gets sick is the ambulance will be accessible in your area? If your house caught into fire is the fire truck accessible in your area? Kathmandu is so crowded now that even the God will not be able to save people from natural disaster like earthquake. Powered by !JoomlaComment 3.26
