    Yogesh, please be sensible while commenting. That person lost 1.5 acre of plantation, which would cost 10 to 15 lakhs. Not 2 lacks. the compensation, we rubber planters receive is not even 20%. its common to have fire on rubber plantation in this time.
    for your kind knowledge, rubber tapping season not yet over.

    Very strange indeed. May be some meteorite effect.
