Chief Minister told to media that if there is a need, we will involve forensic experts from abroad too,"


The Chief Secretary has directed the PWD to carry out structural audit once the building is declared safe by the fire department.

Fire officials told to media that building had no fire detection or sprinkler systems.

Several other ministers.

The crime branch, which has formed four teams to probe the fire and find the reason behind the fire.
Crime Branch officers told to media that they  will carry out the probe to ascertain if it was a case of sabotage or an accident

Media reported that preliminary reports said an overloaded AC system may have led to a short circuit in or near chamber 411 on the fourth floor, sparking the inferno that destroyed floors four through seven

The fire destroyed  the files of the revenue, the UDD, the home, the housing, cooperative and energy departments.

Media also reported that all revenue land records and development/redevelopment permissions files were gutted in the fire.


But many people think that the aim was to destroy the corruption files or other important documents, reports of various departments.

Many people thought that Adarsh Building Scam documents file got destroyed but  Politicians said that  Adarsh scam file is with CBI.

Truth will only come before the High Court.

The Chief Minister  said if the building is found structurally unstable, it could be redeveloped by the government and not a private developer.

Media reported that the audit report, dated 2008, shows that fire extinguishers and alarms were not working at the Mantralaya or the state Secretariat.

Now question is what they did in 4 years regarding that audit?

Now what will happen Government will order  an enquiry and nothing will change.

Who is responsible for the fire?

Who is responsible for the negligence?

No one is responsible and no one will get the punishment.

Guilty will be transferred to higher position.

Do you think Guilty should be tried for the murder as 5 people died because of fire?
