Property worth Rs 25 million was gutted in a fire that broke out at a historic house of the Makaju family at Saraswati Bazaar of Dhulikhel, the district headquarter of Kavre on Friday night.

Constructed some 85 years ago, the 64-feet-high, four-storey artistic house was considered the biggest and the oldest building in Dhulikhel, according to reports.

According to the Local Administration, the fire has damaged property worth 25 million rupees.

The fire damaged Rs 1.3 million in cash and property, including gold and silver.

The fire was brought into control with the help of four fire engines called from Kathmandu and Bhaktapur, along with security forces and local people.
