Rangareddy District: A sudden fire broke out at the old MRO (Mandal Revenue Officer) office in Chevella last Sunday night. Old records and other items stored in the Patwari building near the office were destroyed in the blaze.
On receiving information, the police and firefighters from Shadnagar fire station rushed to the spot and launched rescue operations. The fire personnel brought the flames completely under control.
MRO Krishnaiah said that they suspected that, as it was the Deepavali festival on Sunday, sparks from firecrackers may have caused the fire. Officials are currently inspecting the burnt records and assessing the damage to property. Documents related to several Excise Department cases, which were kept in the old MRO office, were among those destroyed.
When asked about the incident, the MRO said there was no electricity supply in the room where the fire broke out. He expressed the opinion that falling sparks were likely responsible; however, the exact cause of the fire and further details are yet to be confirmed.
