A fire broke out in the small hours of the morning The ground floor was enveloped in flames Inmates of the house rushed up and battered at the door of his room and forced it open There was no time to lose The balcony on which the door of his room opened was the only exit possible People outside set up a ladder against the wall under the balustrade The ladder, however, fell short by five to six feet to reach up
An awning was stretched over the asan and the squatting ground for the people where the day's function was held This was just underneath the balcony The male members of the house, who were only two, became so panicky that they were the first to jump on the awning to escape, crashing down the whole structure with them 'in their bold dash " Women and children were cowardly neglected Chitrabhanu
