FSL senior scientist Abhay Pratap Singh said that till now it is understood that the Wall Mountain fan was running overnight. The wiring melted due to overheating. This melted wire fell on the fibre chair kept there, due to which the chair caught fire. The fire reached the files kept on the table. Slowly it spread throughout the room. Whether there is negligence or any kind of conspiracy, the investigation is going on for these reasons as well.
The DO of the 22 warehouse fire brigade said that the fire brigade was informed by the secretariat at 7.42 am. A car went to the spot. There was a fire in room 2219 in the personnel department. The fire was brought under control in about an hour. The files kept on three shelves were burnt to ashes.
Even before this, there was a fire in the Panchayati Department on Sunday itself. During this, the entire room of the IAS officer was burnt to ashes. After all, what is the reason that fire incidents are happening on Sundays only? Let us tell you that the Bajaj Nagar police station had also registered a case in this regard, but till now the police have not been able to reach the cause of the fire.
