Aahar India, the local Indian food truck at 101 S. Walnut St. next to the Corner Cone, burned Saturday evening, Jan. 5. Miami Township firefighters quelled the blaze within a few minutes of arriving and no one was injured.

Although the trailer sustained unknown damages, a firefighter on the scene deemed it “most likely a total loss.” But Akhilesh Nigam, who has owned and operated the take-out restaurant for the last nine years, is already thinking of the future.

“Whether I have to rebuild this one or get a new one, we’ll see,” he said on Monday. “When I do it, I’ll make it better than it was before.”

“I want to run it again, because that’s my passion,” he added.
