At least 10 houses were gutted at Jubilee Road near Enayet Bazar Mosque in the city yesterday. Sources said, the fire broke out at a tin-shed house at Lane No-1 at about 11:00 in the morning and soon engulfed nine adjacent houses owned by one Monir Ahmed. Four fire-fighting units from the city's Nandankanon and Agrabad fire stations rushed to the spot and managed to extinguish the blaze after two-hour effort. The fire originated from gas line leakage and damaged property worth Tk 2 lakh, said the fire fighters.
