Fire breaks out at inoperative city transport office in Ujjain, probe on
Ujjain: A fire broke out at the office of City Transport Service Limited, which was non-operational for the past eight months, during the night between Friday and Saturday on Maxi Road in Ujjain.
The blaze engulfed the building before it could be doused. Three fire engines responded to the emergency. The response team broke the windows on the first floor to ventilate the smoke before extinguishing the flames. The fire consumed curtains, furniture, papers, and files on the premises within no time.
Confirming that an FIR was lodged in the incident, commissioner Ashish Pathak said, "An investigation is being conducted by a committee under the direction of additional commissioner.
Old workshop scrap and the 2013 log book were burned in the fire. No records of the city bus were damaged. Previously, the office of MPSRTC was located here, and its records were also kept here. The fire broke out in the workshop office section.
"
A Congress delegation led by leader of opposition Ravi Rai inspected the city bus company's office on Sunday to evaluate the damage. Alleging a foul play, Rai stated, "The fire occurred in the office's record room and the cupboard was empty.

There was a large pile of papers in one spot that caught fire. The electrical boards were only partially melted, whereas in a short circuit fire, the boards would have been completely burnt, eventually spreading the fire.
It is evident that the fire was deliberately set."
Mayor Mukesh Tatwal, when questioned about the incident, mentioned that he was in Patalkot and learned about the fire through media reports since officials had not informed him directly.
