A 56-year-old man has lost his life in a house fire in Melonggang village of Dophuchen Gewog in Samtse.
The fatal fire incident, which happened last night around 9, razed to the ground the single-storey house of the deceased.
The neighbours rushed to help only to find the man dead outside the burning house.
The villagers suspect the fire could have been caused by kerosene lamp as the village doesn’t have electricity.
