A major fire at North Goa, Ashvem Beach resort resulted in completely destroying six cottages, reported news agency PTI.
According to a police officer quoted by PTI, the incident reportedly occurred near the Ajoba Temple around 8:45 am on Thursday. He further informed that no one was injured.
Preliminary reports from local MLA Jit Arolkar suggest it was caused by a short circuit in the resort’s generator room. Authorities are now investigating whether the establishment held the mandatory fire safety permissions and “no-objection” certificates, he added.
Firefighting teams from Mapusa and Pernem rushed to the scene to bring the flames under control.
