A minor fire broke out at the Delhi BJP office in Pant Marg on Thursday. Officials said the fire was caused by a short-circuit at an electricity meter box; however, it was immediately controlled by the Delhi Fire Services (DFS). 




Speaking of the incident, DFS personnel said we received a call around 4:25 pm informing us of a fire incident at a Delhi BJP office. Three fire tenders were immediately pressed into service to douse the flame, and within a few minutes, only the fire was brought under control. 

"Police were further informed to investigate the matter," a DFS official added.

Meanwhile, the party office, in a statement, claimed that there was a short circuit in the electricity meter box at the Delhi BJP office at around 4.15 pm, which triggered a minor fire incident.

"The NDMC electric staff and fire brigade team reached the office in less than 15 minutes. The fire was controlled. Only the electricity in the office has been turned off, which may take a few hours to restore. There was no damage to property, and no one was injured," the BJP said in a statement.

It is pertinent to note that earlier last month, a fire broke out at the party office in Mumbai as well. According to a fire brigade official, the blaze started at around 4:35 p.m. but was doused immediately after 10 minutes. “It was confined to electrical wiring. No one was injured. We had deployed a water tanker and fire engine,” the official added.
