Massive fire engulfs District Court Complex, Bhaderwah

BHADARWAH, 31-12-2020 : A massive fire broke out in the district court complex, Bhadarwah on Thursday evening. As per reports, no casualty has been reported as the courts were closed today for winter vacations but the old heritage building and a shrine got completely damaged in the massive fire.

Reportedly, the fire broke out today evening at 7.30 pm. The fire broke out from the main building from the District and Principal session Judge and the sub judge’s chamber destroying the entire heritage building made of cedarwood and a shrine of Sufi saint Sain Pathar Trod.

The Fire Brigade quickly reached there to rescue to bring the massive fire under control, but as the structure was very old and made of dry cedarwood, it could not be controlled immediately. As per the fire officials, no casualties have been reported.

As the last reports came in, the fire was still spreading. To control the fire, the administration also called additional fire tenders from Doda. According to reports, the cause of fire is not known yet.
