Fire At Shillong Literary Fest: Four Food Stalls Gutted At Ward's Lake
A fire broke out at Ward's Lake during the Shillong Literary Fest 2026 on Thursday evening, gutting four temporary food stalls and disrupting the event. The blaze erupted around 8:30 pm, shortly after a talk show had concluded, while a musical programme was underway. The fire was later doused, but organisers halted the programme. The cause of the fire remains unknown, and the extent of the damage is yet to be assessed.
