On the night of Deepawali on the Singhu border, when the farmers were engaged in paying tribute by lighting two lamps in the name of the farmers killed in the agitation, the farmers’ huts caught fire in front of the TDI Kundli. It is said that the incident of arson started with a trolley parked there, which was converted into a tent. Then there was a loud explosion, which is being told that the cylinder or the tire of the trolley burst. The farmers were horrified by the explosion. Within no time the fire spread to the nearby huts. These three huts are being told of farmers of village Chala Pala, Lahsada district Nawanshahr Punjab.

Fire tenders reached the spot as soon as the information about the arson was received. Earlier, farmers were also trying to control the fire. The wind was blowing strong and farmers were worried that the fire might spread to other nearby huts. It could have caused a bigger accident. When the fire brigade personnel reached the spot and started pouring water on the fire, the farmers got scared. Because in the huts where the fire broke out, the power supply was on. In such a situation, there was a fear of getting electrocuted by the water cannon. After much effort, the fire brigade brought the fire under control.
