Mysuru: With the fire tragedy at the restobar in Dattagalli that killed two persons still fresh in the minds of the people, another fire mishap took place at a store on Panchamantra Road in Kuvempunagar destroying clothes, toys and other items yesterday. 

The fire was noticed at about 5.45 am by morning walkers who immediately informed Saraswathipuram Fire Station. Soon, Fire and Emergency Services personnel, who rushed to the spot along with two fire extinguishing vehicles, managed to douse the fire and prevented it from spreading further.
