Eggs worth about Tk 4 lakh were damaged in a fire at Patbari of Benapole yesterday morning. Sources said, the fire that gutted at least 63,000 eggs in a godown, originated from an electric short circuit. GM Enterprise recently decided to import 14,70,000 eggs through Benapole land port. After taking delivery of 63,000 eggs on October 1, he kept them in the local godown. Fire fighters rushed to the spot and doused the fire in a struggle for over an hour.
