Mangaluru: A fire broke out near the ticket counter at Pilikula Nisargadhama on Wednesday morning, resulting in two electric vehicles catching fire.

The incident began when a spark ignited in one of the electric vehicles that was being charged in the workshop, leading to a fire that completely destroyed two vehicles. It’s reported that there were over ten electric vehicles parked in the area, but fortunately, a major accident was averted.

Despite two vehicles being engulfed in flames, allegations have surfaced that the Kadri fire services did not arrive immediately. In response, Pilikula staff took it upon themselves to control the fire. Eventually, after about half an hour, the Kadri fire services arrived and extinguished the flames.

Police from Kavoor station and Mangaluru Rural inspected the scene.

Hathras (UP), Nov 22: More than 100 monkeys perished after inhaling a pesticide sprayed in a food godown and were stealthily buried in a pit, police on Friday said.

The bodies were taken out for a postmortem by a team of veterinarians on Friday.

Circle Officer Yogendra Krishna Narayan said police came to know about the deaths on Wednesday.

Police have registered a case against the employees of Food Corporation of India and started an investigation.

According to police, the chemical in question was aluminium phosphide sprayed on wheat sacks to protect it from insects and rodents in an FCI warehouse on November 7.

A troop of monkeys entered the warehouse through a broken window of the godown on the night of November 7 and ended up inhaling the gas.

When the workers opened the warehouse on November 9, they saw several monkeys dead.

They allegedly chose not to inform their seniors about deaths and buried the bodies in a pit.

The CO said the bodies were exhumed when some Vishv Hindu Parishad leaders came to know about the incident.

As per police count, more than 100 monkeys were exhumed from the pit.

Their bodies were in late stage decay, the officer said.
