Talking to Kashmir Observer, an official of Kothi Bagh Police Station said the second floor has been completely damaged.
“The floor hosts office rooms which have been reduced to ashes”.
“Although it is too early to comment on the cause of the fire, it may have been caused by a short circuit” he said.

“The swift action of the firefighters helped prevent damages on a large scale”, the official said.
