MARGAO
The incident occurred around noon when dry grass fire spread into the rear side of police station compound, burning down the
accident vehicles.
Policemen at the Cuncolim police station tried to extinguish the fire, but in vain. The police then called up the fire brigade to assist in the fire-fighting operations.
Margao Sub-divisional police officer, DySP Dinraj Govekar said that the accident occurred when dry grass fire spread to the accident vehicles which were all parked behind the police station. “According to initial estimates, more than 30-40 two-wheelers have been gutted in the fire,” DySP
Govekar said.
Police said that most of the accidents vehicles were shifted from the old bus stand, Margao to the Cuncolim police station premises a year ago for want of
space to store such vehicles in the jurisdiction of Margao police station.
