​Hyderabad: As many as 51 huts were gutted in a fire accident that occurred at Malakunta near Exhibition Grounds on Friday. However, there was no casualty.

According to police, the fire broke out around 9 am in one of the huts built along the drainage in front of the Exhibition Grounds in Nampally. As smoke billowed, people residing in the huts rushed out of their huts raising alarm.

A police patrol team present there called in for help and also for additional police personnel. Four fire tenders were pressed into service to douse the fire. It took about two hours for the fire fighters to douse the fire. An electric short circuit is suspected to be the cause of fire.

Apart from police, revenue and GHMC officials and leaders from different political parties visited the place and extended immediate help. Since the victims were left with nothing, all the 51 families were temporarily rehabilitated inside the Exhibition Grounds.
