Fire breaks out at Nuvem p’yat office; short circuit suspected

MARGAO:

Margao fire brigade rushed to the Nuvem village panchayat building on Thursday evening after the electrical panel caught fire.

Sarpanch Freda D’Sa said the fire must have occurred due to a suspected short circuit given that work was going on in the adjoining market shed. She thanked the local residents for responding quickly and for taking part in the fire-fighting operations.
