KOHAT, May 8: Dozens of tents were gutted in an Afghan refugee camp in Kharmatu area, 25km from here, on Monday. Witnesses said women were preparing meals in their tent when it caught fire which soon engulfed 28 other makeshift houses.
The camp had been erected by refugees to stay in the area for harvesting wheat crop of local landlords.
The fire brigade and Rescue-15 personnel reached there and put out the blaze with the help of the area people, saving the rest of the 20 tents.
