A fire broke out at a Sawmill in Manahari Rural Municipality–1, Makwanpur, injuring one person and causing major property damage.
Krishna Latoula, aged 68, was injured while trying to douse the flames. The fire started due to an electric short circuit in the mill, which was connected to his house.

The fire, which started around 2 PM, was brought under full control by 5:30 PM with help from the Hetauda Municipality fire brigade, police, and local residents.
