Angsanu Marma, 65, stood in front of his charred grocery shop at Guimara’s Ramesu Bazar yesterday while his wife searched for anything that could be salvaged.

Angsanu, who is fighting cancer, said his life had revolved around the shop he had been running for 30 years and his small home next to it.

“There was cash in the shop. Many valuables were inside the house. I couldn’t save anything. I escaped with only the clothes on my back,” he told The Daily Star.
