Fires keep haunting the force built to fight them

On the night of Wednesday, June 4, at around 8 PM, a fire broke out at the Motor Transport (MT) Branch of the Armed Police Force headquarters in Halchok. Flames suddenly erupted from the underground parking of the MT Branch, located behind the Halchok stadium. Upon receiving the alert, a team from the headquarters itself, the nearby Bangalamukhi Battalion, and a fire brigade from the APF’s customs office in Balaju quickly brought the fire under control.

The APF stated that the fire was contained in time, preventing major damage. However, the blaze destroyed a Prado vehicle used by an Additional Inspector General (AIG), along with several other vehicles.
