Mangalore: on Monday afternoon at 2.30 PM, a major fire had broken out among a group of rubber trees grown in a Ganjimutt plantation on the outskirts of the city.

Neither the cause of fire, nor extent of loss incurred, has been deuced. But fire engines rushed out of Mangalore and Moodabidri, to extinguish the large fire, swept through winds.

The fire-fighting teams made their best efforts to control the fire from two sides.

The destructive situation was soon brought under control, after their arrival. The Bajpe police arrived last on the scene, to record the incident.
