Two killed in fire accident

TAMBARAM: Two workers were burnt to death in a fire that ravaged thatched huts at a construction site of the Kathipara grade separator early on Saturday.

St. Thomas Mount police identified the dead as P. Robin Barui (22) and Pratip Kar (21), both from West Bengal. While Barui was charred to death on the spot, Kar died at the Kilpauk Medical College Hospital.

The Police said the cause of Robin’s death – whether it was due to suffocation or burn injuries – could be ascertained only after they received the post mortem report.

Workers from Muzaffurpur district of Bihar at the site said the fire broke out around 4 a.m. in a row of huts on Inner Ring Road.
