A one-storied house was completely gutted by fire at Gongdue in Monggar, yesterday. A 66-year-old mother was alone at home when the fire started. She escaped unhurt. A source said the fire started from an electric meter box. The family is living in their neighbors’ house at the moment. The Dzongkhag Kidu Office has given then Nu.10, 000 as Gyalpoi Thukso.
