Four two-wheelers were gutted in a fire in front of a house at Melapulam village, near Arakkonam town, in Ranipet on Thursday.
The police suspect an electrical short circuit might be the reason for the accident. It was around 12.30 a.m. when thick smoke engulfed the house of G. Yuvaraj, sixth ward councillor of Melapulam village panchayat. He came out and discovered that his four two-wheelers were burning. Him and some neighbours successfully doused the fires and prevented it from spreading to the houses. The vehicles had been parked in the house’s veranda since Mr. Yuvaraj returned home around 9.30 p.m. on Wednesday.
Based on the alert, the Avalur police inspected the house. The electrical wires connected to the main electricity board in the house were discovered burnt after the fire. The police also analysed CCTV camera footage and found no evidence of movement of people in the area at the time of the fire. The police filed a case and are investigating further.

A UN FAO report has revealed a staggering hidden cost of agrifood systems surpassing $10 trillion. In India, this manifests as poverty, environmental harm, and health-related issues. To transform these systems, multi-cropping systems can protect farmers, improve nutrition, and positively impact ecology. India's Green Revolution led to monoculture, undermining seed sovereignty, nutrition, and ecology. Privatisation and deregulation increased debt and made farming unviable. Diversified multi-cropping systems rooted in agroecology principles can revitalise land and soil, improve nutrition, and sustain farmer incomes.
