Mangalore, February 29: A parked car caught fire on Wednesday afternoon in the city, causing heavy loss.

The newly purchased Maruti Ritz was parked near the gate of St Aloysius School at Karangalpady here.

The driver had gone somewhere after parking his car. Eye witnesses said that there was a heap of ashes, as labourers belonging to Mangalore City Corporation had burned garbage in that place in the morning.

Though the fire was extinguished, it is gathered, a passerby might have thrown the remnants of a smoked cigarette.

The fire was put off by the locals who saw black smoke billowing into the sky. The front portion of the car was completely gutted. The engine, wiring and car battery of the car were also damaged in the incident.

Fire brigades and jurisdictional police also rushed to the spot.

Comments

The passion of young Ms Tabassum and Social Working of today, particularly, gives me lot of hope. It almost feels like the political class wants to bring down India while the people are so hard working and committed to nation building.

Congratulation Miss. Way to go.

PS: Media has been compromised and fake news factories churn out crap daily. Thanks CD for bringing this news to readers.

CONGRATULATIONS.

Mrs.Tabassum's service for humanity is highly commendable.She looks after HIV & AIDS effected children with compassion like mother without expecting anything in returns.

She is the alumni of JF managed Green View PU womens college at Derealakette.

She deserve for more prestigious awards even like "Padma Shri" for her selfless and sincere services for the society and the nation.

All the best.
