There was chaos at the Odisha Secretariat on Tuesday afternoon when a fire broke out, causing damage to important equipment. It was around 4:38 p.m. when the upper premises of the Cooperative Department were engulfed in flames.
Thankfully, two fire brigade teams were quickly alerted and rushed to the scene. They worked tirelessly to bring the blaze under control, and their efforts were successful. While it is suspected that an electrical short circuit was the cause of the fire, an official determination has yet to be made.
The incident caused panic among employees in the affected department and nearby offices. As a safety precaution, the fire department disconnected the electricity supply, which left officials and staff in a state of confusion.
This is not the first time that a fire has occurred at the Secretariat. In the past, there have been several similar incidents. One such incident in the Revenue Department resulted in the destruction of important documents. And, on October 3, 2023, a sudden fire broke out in the chamber of the Revenue Minister and nearby offices, causing a stir among employees who struggled to figure out the cause.
