Gurugram, Sept. 21 -- A fire destroyed more than a dozen shanties and a major part of a garbage yard located on an open field on the outskirts of Naharpur village at Sector 86 near IMT Manesar on Saturday morning, fire department officials said. Officials said that the fire broke out at 10.45am and the Manesar fire station received the alert at 10.50am. Within five minutes, two fire tenders from the station and one belonging to an automobile manufacturing plant, had reached the spot to douse the fire. "By 11.30pm, we had controlled the flames and in the next hour, the fire was completely doused," a fire department official said. Lalit Kumar, fire officer of Manesar fire station, said that either a short circuit or a cooking fire in one of the hutments had spread which resulted in the incident. Meanwhile, fire officials said that the location is actually a garbage yard spread on a five acres plot. Last year too, a fire had broken out at the same site which had reduced the garbage to ashes. Ruchika Sethi Takkar, a member of a group named Citizens for Clean Air, said that there are records of repeated fires at this location for more than seven years. "Post-monsoon, after the festive season and in March and April the fires were reported. We have filed multiple complaints but no coercive action has been taken yet," Sethi said. A Municipal Corporation of Manesar (MCM) official said that they will look into the issue of fires erupting at garbage yards....
