Doda: At least three houses and seven shops were gutted in a fire in this hilly district of Jammu and Kashmir on Saturday, police said.
The fire broke out in a house at Kahara village, 45 kms from here, around 4.30 AM and quickly spread to adjoining structures, a police official said.
He said the fire and emergency services immediately rushed to the spot and managed to douse the flames after an hour-long operation.
A total of three houses and seven shops belonging to five different owners were damaged in the fire, the official said.
