Shopian: A temple was gutted in a fire incident in Zainpora area of South Kashmir’s Shopian district.
Official sources told news agency Kashmir News Trust that a temple was destroyed in a fire incident. They said that the cause of the fire was the short circuit.
They added that there are few Pandit families living in the area and for the worship, a makeshift temple had been erected there.
