A fire broke out in the Dhadkie village in Sub-Division Gandoh (Bhalessa) of Doda district on Thursday. According to officials, dry grass and three to four buildings were damaged by the fire.
Acting swiftly, the subdivisional administration dispatched fire tenders to the spot and brought the fire under control quickly.
District Development Commissioner Doda Vishesh Paul Mahajan applauded and appreciated the actions of the subdivisional administration, particularly SDM Arun Kumar Badyal, who moved fast to preserve lives and property in Dhadkie village, according to an official statement released on Thursday evening.
The locals of Dhadkie also expressed their gratitude to the sub-divisional administration, saying that if they had not acted quickly, a terrible catastrophe would have happened, causing a significant loss of life and property.
It is pertinent to mention here that Dhadkie is known as the “deafest and dumbest village in the world” due to the genetically-enhanced features of the villagers, as there is a group of people who are deaf and dumb by birth.
