Baruch: A fire reportedly broke out at the BJP office in Bharuch due to a short circuit, said reports on Monday. It is worth mentioning that, no casualties have been reported.
According to reports, the fireman at Bharuch Municipality, Shailesh Sasiya told the press that, “Today, at 10:30 am, a fire broke out in the BJP office near Kasak Circle. We reached the spot as soon as we received the call. The fire has been doused off. No casualty has been reported in this incident.”
It is worth mentioning that, at least 22 persons were reportedly killed in a massive fire at a gaming zone in Gujarat’s Rajkot on May 25. The fire broke out inside the gaming zone in a shopping mall when it was teeming with children.
Police teams and fire tenders were rushed to the spot to douse the fire. Sources said the owner of the gaming zone has been arrested. The shopping mall was inundated with crowds because of the weekend. The intensity of the fire was so fierce that smoke was seen billowing from the shopping mall from a long distance.
A couple of people are believed to be trapped inside the gaming zone where a rescue operation is on in full swing. Meanwhile, Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel has instructed the officials to prioritise the rescue operation and ensure immediate treatment for the injured.
“Instructions have been given to the municipal corporation and the administration for immediate rescue and relief operations in the fire incident in the game zone in Rajkot. Instructions have also been issued to prioritise arrangements for immediate treatment of the injured,” the Gujarat CM said.
