Minor fire at Bhopal collectorate

Some documents of the revenue department pertaining to Misrod village were destroyed in a fire at record room of district collectorate here today, a senior officer said.
"In was just a small fire that got ignited due to an electric short circuit. As soon we got the information, adequate steps were taken to douse the blaze in the record room of Collector's office. It was brought under control soon," Additional District Magistrate (ADM) BS Jamod told PTI.
Jamod said some revenue records relating to Misrod village were gutted in fire, denying reports that a bulk of land record of three tehsils was reduced to ashes in the blaze.

Discrediting reports that three water tankers struggled for over one hour to contain fire, the ADM said the tankers were just called and stationed at the spot to ensure that the fire does not spread.
