In a freak incident, a couple of decaying wooden chariot wheels abandoned close to the Goshala of Lord Varasiddi Vinayaka Swamy temple at Kanipakam, 12 km from here, caught fire on Thursday, leading to a flutter.
Some local people who noticed smoke billowing out from the corner had informed the temple officials, who doused the flames. Lying in the open for several years, the wheels were reduced to pieces.
