Bottles of empty perfume and room freshener lay scattered around the area on Monday (February 19), a day after a fire in the scrap facility in Ramsandra in Kumbalgodu killed three and injured many others.
Vishwanath’s house, which is adjacent to the unit, was also severely damaged. The walls and windows of the house were burnt, and so were a TV set, fridge, sofa, dining table, water purifier, and cooking items, including groceries. The water tank, solar water heater, and plants on the terrace were also charred, and Mr. Vishwanath pegged the loss at over ₹5 lahks.
