Butwal Spinning Mills in Butwal caught fire Sunday afternoon causing damage worth Rs.7 million, preliminary reports said. The fire started from a duster filter after an electrical short circuit at Nepal’s biggest spinning mill.

Raw materials and spare parts were destroyed in the blaze. Fire fighters from Butwal and Siddhartha sub municipalities, soldiers and policemen helped put out the fire two hours after it started at 1.35 PM.

The plant will resume production in one week after repairs.
