Goods worth Tk 30lakh were gutted in a fire at Hili under Hakimpur upazila yesterday morning, police said. The fire originated from a warehouse of an importer at about 7.30am. Soon it engulfed the entire warehouse burning all imported goods. Being informed, fire fighters from Pachbibi upazila in Joypurhat district rushed to the spot and doused fire. Electric short circuit was the cause of fire, said warehouse staffers although fire brigade officials termed it 'mysterious.'
