An official, who wished not to be named, said the 'design hall' of the office also got affected by the blaze. He said General Manager (GM) has convened an emergency meeting of the officials concerned over the incident. Investigations have also been initiated to ascertain the cause. He said the extent of damage caused by the fire could not be ascertained till filing of the report. "No one has been injured," he said.
